Our Mission: Free Aerial Search & Rescue OverwatchWhen a loved one goes missing, every single second dictates the outcome. Local police, volunteer fire departments, and rural rescue agencies face massive budget constraints. They simply cannot afford to deploy cutting-edge drone technology.My name is Travis Harker. I am a U.S. Army Combat Engineer veteran. I performed high-stakes route clearance operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know exactly what it takes to manage complex terrain, execute precision tracking under pressure, and maintain clear communications.To bring the highest level of professional expertise to this mission, I earned an Associate of Science in Uncrewed Aerial Technology, graduating on the President's List for academic excellence. This combines my tactical military field experience with formal, advanced technical training in commercial unmanned aircraft operations.I founded HarKourt Kinetic Systems LLC to close this technological gap. We provide 100% free, rapid-response drone-based Search and Rescue (SAR) services to families and local emergency departments.Why We Are Prioritizing Our Drone Fleet FirstWe are structured as a veteran-owned business so we can deploy instantly without bureaucratic delays. However, our community SAR operations charge zero dollars to the families or emergency agencies we assist.Because we have no incoming revenue, we rely entirely on community-driven capital to buy our physical equipment. 100% of the funds raised on this page go straight into raw hardware procurement—not corporate salaries.To clear massive square mileage instantly, our operational framework is built to deploy up to four high-altitude commercial drones simultaneously. This is a massive logistical undertaking.Where Your Capital Goes (Phased Cost Breakdown)We choose to run our primary campaign through Fund the First because our credentials are fully verified via ID.me, ensuring complete transparency for our donors. Our immediate target covers the fleet airframes first, followed sequentially by our logistical pipeline:

• Phase 1 (Current Goal): The Multi-Sensor Drone Fleet — $50,396
  This secures 4 standard retail Autel EVO Max 4N Enterprise Bundles ($12,599 each). These are our eyes in the sky. They feature permanently integrated RGB, high-resolution thermal tracking, ultra-zoom cameras, and laser rangefinders to execute deep-night tracking and dense brush line sweeps.
• Phase 2: The Mobile Operations Command Trailer — $6,500
  Once the fleet is procured, we will expand to a secure, enclosed cargo trailer to house the entire 4-drone network, field charging grids, Starlink connectivity arrays, and telemetry monitoring screens to serve as a mobile field headquarters on search scenes.
• Phase 3: The Dedicated SAR Facility & Base Command — $44,500
  Our final infrastructure milestone constructs a permanent 20x40 pre-built wood workshop shell dropped onto an engineered crushed-limestone pad. It will be packed with professional insulation, an electrical subpanel for massive battery charging docks, and climate controls to keep our tactical assets free of moisture and extreme Texas heat.

Stand With Us to Bring Them HomeWe are trained, verified, and ready to execute the mission. We just need the physical gear to get into the air.By backing this campaign, you aren't funding a corporation. You are building a permanent, elite public-safety asset protecting Texas communities.Thank you for your support, your shares, and for standing watch with us.
