Solves the number one pain point of water rescues β panicking victims and the risk that they represent to another person attempting to rescue them in the water β by offering a remotely navigable, buoyant platform that has lights that can be seen at night and is much more resistant to adverse water conditions than other options.
Augments existing vehicular assets such as Zodiacs, jet skis, and other small rescue vessels by decreasing cost and increasing the efficiency of rescue missions.
Supplements existing water rescue equipment such as ropes, rescue lines, and ring buoys with a fast device that offers maximum assistance to swimmers.
The Smart LifeBuoy can operate in harsh environments surrounding offshore platforms, which commonly experience high seas and conditions unfavorable to rapidly deploying manned assets.
Unlike existing indirect rescue systems and assets, the Smart LifeBuoy deploy quickly and directly β reducing the heavy burden of costs (insurance, etc) associated with deploying rescue and recovery operations by platform staff or government response.
