Indian Naval Academy Develops Twin-Drone System for Maritime Search and Rescue
The Indian Naval Academy has developed a two-drone system to enhance maritime search and rescue operations. The system uses a quadcopter equipped with 2K optical and thermal cameras and AI to detect people in distress, while a hexacopter delivers lifebuoys to the identified location. Both drones operate within a 10-km radius and communicate via long-range radio frequency. Human operators retain control over the lifebuoy release, aiming to improve response times during sea emergencies.
