The open source for water safety and sea rescue innovation
The worlds first international maritime SAR database and knowledgebase.
This project aims to develop concepts for, and implementations of, a database of maritime search and rescue (SAR) knowledge. It seeks to preserve and share documented and undocumented helpful best-practices, know-how, lessons learned, recommendations, and general knowledge. Help make our seas safer through sharing knowledge.
The worlds first listing of water rescue literature from across the globe.
This project is producing a listing of maritime search & rescue (SAR) knowledge sources from different SAR groups and organizations around the world.
Finding a good construction and design for a coastal environment
For a good implementation of the use of drones in sea-rescue operations, there is a need to develop autonomous launching boxes for fixed-wing drones.
A UAV system controlled via a cellular network
This is a project to develop a system to evaluate streaming remote video and controlling a drone over the internet.
No moving parts, less drag, easy waterproofing.
A gyro stabilized gimbal camera on a UAV offers smooth, straight horizon video even in turbulent conditions. How might we stream stabilized video without a physical gimbal?
Drone system to support Search and Rescue
This project is an exploration of how the Swedish Sea Rescue Society and similar Search and Rescue organizations might use a system where a central operator could remotely launch and control small aircrafts housed in automatic launching boxes at our rescue stations.
How might we communicate locally by Air- and Marine VHF voice radio from a remote drone over an internet connection?
More sets of eyes are better than fewer.
How might we better the lookout in maritime searches by sharing an online video feed over social networks?
Web based drone control
How might we design a robust service that can stay connected to a fleet of launch-ready drones and provide instant access for operators anywhere?
Operational profile - Aerodynamic configuration - Off-the-shelf solutions suitability - Aerodynamic design - Prototyping
What would be the optimum airframe for the SSRS drone use profile? Is it commercially available? If not, what would it look like?
