Why CesarOps Exists
CesarOps was founded after the US Coast Guard refused to run a backdrift analysis on a suicide case. When conventional SAR resources stop looking, families are left with nothing.
CesarOps fills that gap. We build free tools for civilian search and recovery — from drift analysis to sonar scanning to shipwreck databases — so that no family is left without answers.
Every tool we build is free for search and rescue organizations. Your donations keep the servers running and the tools improving.
CesarOps is a community project. Donations support development and hosting costs.
