November 2025- CENTUM, a product-driven company that specialises in airborne technology based on mobile phone systems, and Event 38 Unmanned Systems, a U.S. manufacturer of high-performance drones, have completed the integration of the Lifeseeker Mini S10 system on the E455 platform.
Lifeseeker Mini is an airborne system that helps locate missing persons by geolocating cell phones, even in areas without network coverage. With its optimised size, weight and power (SWaP), it integrates easily into a wide range of drone platforms such as the E455, supporting fast deployment and enhanced mission capability in complex environments.
Event 38 Unmanned Systems, based in Richfield, Ohio, designs and manufactures fixed-wing VTOL drones for commercial, government, and public safety customers worldwide. Since 2011, the company has delivered advanced unmanned aircraft that capture geo-tagged data for a wide range of missions and industries.
The company’s flagship platform, the E455, is a heavy-lift, long-endurance fixed-wing VTOL drone engineered for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) as well as high-precision mapping and critical infrastructure inspections. With extended flight times, secure communications, and support for advanced payloads such as the
Lifeseeker system, the E455 is uniquely equipped to meet the demanding needs of public safety agencies around the world.
This integration underlines the adaptability and mission-readiness of Lifeseeker Mini,” said Javier Chamorro, President at CENTUM. “It reinforces our commitment to making life-saving technology available through trusted, proven unmanned systems.”
“The E455 was built to support missions where reliability and capability can make all the difference. By integrating the Lifeseeker system, we’re giving responders the ability to locate missing persons faster and operate more effectively in the field,” said Jeff Taylor, CEO/Founder at Event 38. “It’s an example of how we listen to our customers and deliver solutions that truly meet their needs”
The integrated system will soon enter in operation with a customer in the United States, further expanding Lifeseeker’s deployment on unmanned platforms in North America and worldwide
