How the Drone Helps in Water Rescue
In lifesaving procedures, seconds could mean the difference between a life saved or life lost. In water rescue alone, departments often find time slipping away very quickly.
There are many different ways to combat this but one option is a heavy lift drone. On each of our drones, there is a release system hardwired to the bottom. This means that they have the ability to carry lifejackets, inflatable rafts, and liferings out to someone in distress. Within seconds, you can provide someone with a floatation device so that they can await rescue from coast guard or boat.
You will also find that there is a camera included with the drone that can be used for search and rescue. Send the drone out on the water to help recover someone out of sight and hover the drone over until rescue arrives. You can even find someone with the camera first, and mark their location to fly back and grab a lifering to give them in minutes.
The options are endless when these drones get put to use. Upgrade your drone to include a FLIR Thermal camera to spot heat spots in the water or around dense areas. With drones, you have the chance to save a life quick and efficiently.

“Within 10 minutes the drone located the male and he was brought to safety, evaluated and reunited with his family. With out this technology, efforts would have extended longer and the outcome unknown.”
