Life-saving autonomous system for water rescue

Life-Buoy is a life-saving autonomous drone system designed for emergency response during a water rescue, with less risk to first responders. Being especially suited to extreme weather conditions and rough water, a Life-Buoy can significantly increase the chances of survival. A Life-Buoy can be set to auto-cruise at a certain time and area and react to an emergency. Its system can be automatically triggered by an emergency broadcast and can even react to a verbal call for "HELP". Once the survivor is located, the Life-Buoy can be automatically deployed and the survivor will be towed to safety. Life-Saving autonomous UVA. Deployable within minutes.
