Galileo SAR Meet 2025:


International Search and Rescue Exercise at Kbely Air Base


The Czech Republic’s 243rd Helicopter Squadron successfully hosted the Galileo Search and Rescue (SAR) Meet 2025 in August at Prague-Kbely Air Base (ICAO: LKKB), featuring the motto “That Others May Live.” This international event represented the continuation of the European Union Search and Rescue meeting following a two-year operational hiatus. The exercise was designed to enhance interoperability between European helicopter units while using the European Union’s Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System capabilities for improved operational effectiveness.


The five-day drill was conducted at Kbely Air Base, one of the Czech Republic’s primary SAR operational centers. It involved multiple European nations’ helicopter crews, technical personnel, and rescue specialists in training scenarios designed to enhance operational effectiveness and crew resource management in real-world SAR situations. The event successfully demonstrated the continued commitment to multinational cooperation in emergency response capabilities, while showcasing advanced precision flying techniques and Galileo technology integration.
