We build unmanned aerial vehicles specially adapted and equipped for search and rescue operations at sea.
The drone extends the search radius of a rescue vessel at the sea to cover an area up to 160 km² per mission, instead of less than 5 km² when only relying on binoculars to search the sea.

Long Range
Flies over 1h and 100 km on one battery charge. Battery can be changed within minutes.
Easy to use
After a few hours of training, everybody can plan missions, start the plane, and return it safely.
Built for the sea
Waterproof (IP67), tested at high wind speeds, landing on the water, and easy to recover.
Camera / Image Recognition
Two 8 megapixel cameras provide sharp pictures of the sea surface and people in distress from 550m above the sea. The pictures can be analysed both manually and automatically using our image recognition algorithm.
