One of my former employees, Oracle, had a $1000/filing + $1000/approval incentive program, so I think the terms offered by your company are very generous.
Actually, most search and rescue teams (if not all of them) are volunteer. Usually they are associated with the given county's sherriff's office, but the vast majority of the people that would be out there looking for you are volunteers.
Search and Rescue is a free service and the goal of most such organizations is to keep that service free.
Saab has been doing this in Europe for years. Their vehicles there have side mirrors that start to curve outwards, yielding the same effect. Presto, no blind spot. I'm amazed it still isn't a standard feature on all vehicles here in the States.
