The Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV Helps Provide Aid to Those in Need

— October 26, 2016 — Tech
The Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV is designed to be an additional piece of equipment that can be utilized by beach lifeguards in order to help maintain safety on coastlines.

The Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV can be used as a warning system to let swimmers know when they're traveling too far out from the coast. If a person is drowning, the Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV can spring into lifesaving action and dive straight into the water to provide a floatation device. Moreover, it can be laid on to bring the person back to the shore for additional CPR, if required.

The Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV beach lifeguard unit is the design work of Sarsenbek Hazken and winner of the Red Dot Design Award for 2016.
Trend Themes
1. Autonomous Beach Lifeguards - The Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV is a disruptive innovation opportunity that can revolutionize beach safety by providing additional aid to lifeguards.
2. Safety Warning Systems - The use of warning systems in the form of UAVs can disrupt the beach safety industry by alerting swimmers when they are too far from the coast.
3. Lifesaving Drones - The integration of drones as lifesaving tools presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the beach and rescue industry to improve response time and save lives.
Industry Implications
1. Beach Safety - The beach safety industry could benefit from autonomous lifeguard systems that provide additional assistance to lifeguards.
2. UAV Manufacturing - Autonomous beach lifeguard systems can create opportunities for UAV manufacturers to develop specialized drones for beach rescue operations.
3. Search and Rescue - The search and rescue industry could adopt drone technology to enhance their operations, improving their ability to locate and save individuals in distress at sea.
