Widershine · Aquatic Rescue Response
Assess the scene.
Coordinate the response.
Bring aerial flotation support, powered surface approach and casualty transport into a team-operated water-rescue plan. Select equipment for the environment, assign clear roles and prepare a practical route from deployment to shore-side handover.

Operator-Led Response
A practical route from alert to handover
Water conditions, access and casualty needs determine the response. Remote equipment supports the team at selected stages; trained personnel remain responsible for deployment decisions, assisted transfer and recovery.
-
Step 01
Assess the scene
Identify the casualty location, current, waves, visibility, debris and safe launch and recovery access. Assess river, lake, coastal or flood conditions before choosing an aerial or surface approach.
-
Step 02
Select equipment and assign roles
Choose flotation, casualty-support and observation equipment for the task. Assign operators, a team coordinator and a recovery crew; coordinate separate platforms through the team's established communications.
-
Step 03
Check deployment readiness
Check batteries, controls, propulsion, restraint equipment and selected accessories against each product's instructions. Establish the approach, recovery point and fallback plan before launch.
-
Step 04
Position flotation support
Guide a surface float-wing or deploy an integrated aircraft-and-flotation platform to the assessed location. Maintain operator oversight and help the casualty access the appropriate handholds or flotation interface.
-
Step 05
Arrange assisted casualty transfer
Where casualty support is needed, trained rescuers arrange transfer and securement on the selected floating stretcher before waterborne transport. Coordinate recovery to the agreed shore or rescue-craft handover point.
-
Step 06
Recover, hand over and reset
Recover personnel and equipment, hand the casualty to the receiving care team and record the deployment. Inspect and service equipment, recharge batteries and restore readiness according to the product instructions.
Air Access · Surface Support
Reach the scene by the appropriate route
The Drone Lifeboat 3611106 combines flight with water-surface navigation. EPP float-wings provide a separate, shore-controlled surface approach. Choose the deployment route against local access, control coverage, water conditions and the return plan.
Flotation support and stretcher transport serve different needs. A person able to use handholds may need flotation assistance; an injured casualty may require trained rescuers, securement on a dedicated stretcher and coordinated recovery.

Scenario-Based Equipment Planning
Build the response around the operating environment
These equipment sets are starting points for project planning, not fixed packages. The final selection depends on site conditions, casualty-support needs, trained operators and the recovery arrangements.
River & Lake Flotation Response
Position flotation support from an assessed launch point, then coordinate casualty recovery across inland water.
Select Series II 3611121 for compact remote flotation support, or 3611122 when twin-jet propulsion and equipped scene image transmission suit the task. Add EPP Floating Rescue Stretcher 3611115 for assisted casualty transport. Inspection USV 3611120 is an optional, separately operated visual-inspection resource; water-quality sampling requires the selected optional equipment.
Coastal Air-to-Water Access
Bring flotation equipment to a coastal incident using an appropriate aerial or surface route.
Select Drone Lifeboat 3611106 when aerial access followed by surface navigation fits the response. Drone Lifebuoy 3611102 or the circular Drone Lifebuoy 361103 provide alternative integrated aircraft-and-flotation options. A Series II 3611122 can support the surface approach. Shore or rescue-craft crews manage assisted recovery within assessed coastal conditions.
Flood Retrieval & Relief Transport
Coordinate waterborne casualty retrieval and emergency-supply movement using task-selected support equipment.
Choose EPP Floating Rescue Stretcher 3611115 for supported casualty transport, or the WS-FL foldable HDPE stretcher where compact storage, launch without inflation and switchable heating suit the task. Add Series II 3611121 for flotation support or Drone Lifeboat 3611106 for assessed air-to-water access and flood-relief material transport. Trained crews coordinate loading, recovery and handover around local flood hazards.
Recommended Equipment Roles
Choose each platform for the job it performs
The current range includes EPP air-water platforms, Series II float-wings, rescue stretchers and inspection USVs. Select the role first, then open the product page for the model’s full specifications and configuration options.
Air-to-Water Response
Use the EPP Drone Lifeboat for aerial deployment followed by surface navigation. Integrated hand grips provide flotation support for a person in the water. Plan the flight and water stages separately; the gimbal camera is an optional configuration.
Aerial Flotation Support
Use a drone lifebuoy to bring flotation support to the incident area by air. Select the model against access, deployment and recovery requirements, while a trained response team manages the casualty and the handover to shore.
Powered Surface Approach
Direct a powered EPP float-wing toward a person in the water from an assessed shore position. Series II models 3611121 and 3611122 provide distinct platform options. Choose body layout, controls and mission equipment from each model’s own specifications.
EPP Casualty Transport
A dedicated EPP floating stretcher supports waterborne casualty transport and emergency-supply delivery. Multiple strapping handles assist casualty securement, while twin thrusters, GPS + BeiDou positioning and one-key return support remotely controlled deployment and recovery.
Portable Retrieval & Handover
Select the foldable HDPE stretcher where storage, transport and team handling are priorities. The platform launches without inflation and supports remote or local control. Quick-buckle straps, head-and-neck fixation and switchable heating add handling and thermal-support functions.
Inspection & Site Monitoring
Use the 3611120 USV for remote waterway inspection and monitoring around the operational area. Programmable routes and real-time image transmission support assessment. Sensor and sampling equipment are configuration-dependent; this inspection platform is not a casualty-carrying rescue boat.
Additional Series I float-wing options
Series I float-wings remain alternative surface-rescue choices. Review each body form and configuration separately rather than applying Series II performance to the whole range.
Site Readiness & Configuration
Prepare the equipment and the team together
Reliable deployment starts with suitable equipment, clear operator roles and rehearsed recovery procedures.
Assess water and weather conditions
Review current, waves, visibility, debris, access and local operating restrictions against the selected model’s instructions. Choose a safe launch location, a clear approach and a practical recovery route.
Plan each operating stage
Check batteries, control links and propulsion before deployment. Plan approach, loaded travel and equipment recovery separately, with adequate battery reserve and a fallback recovery method.
Match support to the casualty
Select flotation or a dedicated stretcher according to casualty condition and assisted-transfer needs. Buoyancy, payload and towing ratings describe different properties. Trained personnel manage securement, transfer and care-team handover.
Choose the configuration for the task
Assign an operator to each selected platform and coordinate through established team procedures. Add cameras, infrared modules, lighting or sampling equipment only where offered for the chosen model and suitable for the project.
