Leader WASP - Warning Alarm Stability Protection Device
The Leader WASP (Warning Alarm for Stability Protection) was developed in partnership with the UK International Search and Rescue team, where Matt Keogh contributed for 27 years. As the creator of WASP, Keogh has transitioned the project to Leader, which is now responsible for its manufacturing and promotion.
The stability controller is engineered to detect movements that may compromise structural integrity, specifically tailored to safeguard Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) personnel when they operate in earthquake-damaged environments. Given that rescue teams often spend extended periods breaching through floors without fully understanding the implications of their actions, the Leader WASP is critical in providing real-time feedback.
This safety monitoring device serves as an essential early warning system for rescue crews, alerting them to potential structural failures. By effectively communicating risks associated with critical operations—such as breaching, shoring, and technical searches—Leader WASP empowers teams to adjust their approaches and mitigate the risk of collapse in unstable structures.
