SplashDrone 4 takes maritime activities to new heights
Since 2015, SwellPro has been providing waterproof drones to coast guards and mariners for various maritime missions in many countries. The latest SplashDrone 4 is more powerful and versatile with more options of functional payloads than earlier models. It allows operators to collect valuable data above the ocean whilst reduce the time, cost and danger of the operation. Being waterproof means that the drone can always survive in a marine environment.
Maritime Security Surveillance
Coastguard uses SplashDrone 4 to identify and intercept unauthorized entry, smuggling, piracy, trafficking and other illegal activities in a restricted area of the ocean. The drone can carry a megaphone, allowing operators to deter suspicious ships with voice. Security surveillance by SplashDrone 4 increases productivity and save the cost on boats.
Ship Inspection
SplashDrone 4, fitted with a high-resolution camera, can fly around a ship to identify defects without having a person climbing up scaffolding. The aerial inspection allow seaman to diagnose the defects and repair the ship while at sea with a substantial reduction in time and cost than any traditional methods.
At-sea Search & Rescue
SplashDronne 4 can scan large areas of ocean and pinpoint people in distress, sinking vessels and planes lost at sea. When fitted with a payload release mechanism, SplashDrone 4 can drop a floatation device to people who are struggling in the surf. The drone save coastguards precious time, and more importantly enable them to save more lives.
Marine Biology
Marine conservationists have long been using SwellPro waterproof drones to remotely track and monitor the health of marine mammals such as whales and seals. A drone is less intrusive, more cost-effective and easier to maneuver than a boat. When fitted with a container, SplashDrone 4 can even collect whale snot samples for further study.
Ocean Pollution Monitoring
SplashDrone 4 can help ocean activists locate plastic debris or find the source of oil emission on the ocean. By mapping out the entire polluted areas from the drone, they can work out a effective plan to remove the garbage and clean the water.
Maritime Drone Delivery
Being capable of lifting up to 2 kg, SplashDrone 4 can rapidly deliver small spare parts or documents from shore to ships or ship to ship. The drone can automatically fly to a predetermined GPS coordinates on the APP’s map which could be the place of delivery.
SplashDrone 4 Tests at sea by SNSM La Rochelle
SNSM La Rochelle is a French nonprofit organization whose mission is to rescue human live in danger at sea or on the coasts. In this video, they demonstrated how easy it is to use SplashDrone 4 to deliver a self-inflating buoy and a rope for boat towing.
