The Austrian Tirol Avalanche Brigade isn't your typical outdoor guerilla response unit. These snowmen are equipped with dogs, TNT, seamless comms, arsenal, flight-for-life systems and super sophisticated early warning emergency alert systems supported by a sensor network of stations collecting and crunching data metrics like prevailing wind, snow depth, and variability to produce GIS-based prediction models for potential events. Their specially designed mobile phones that consume the models take punishment too. These were smashed to smithereens during standard ops in real elements.
