Blind Spots Across Wide Areas
Shore observation cannot reliably cover islands, terrain, aquatic plants, or glare-obstructed zones.
Smart Water Rescue Solution
Integrated Aquatic Rescue System
Growing urban activity, tourism, water sports, shipping, and ferry transport increase exposure to drowning, overboard incidents, vessel collisions, floods, and flash floods. Widershine combines unmanned air, surface, underwater, and command technologies for faster, safer, and more coordinated response.
Why a new approach is needed: Boats, lifeguards, shore patrols, and divers can struggle with wide coverage, rapidly changing conditions, low visibility, and delayed response. Drones, unmanned surface vessels, rescue robots, and sonar bring together speed, reconnaissance, rescue delivery, and operational support.
Water Rescue Challenges
Aquatic emergencies evolve quickly. Detection, access, coordination, and rescuer safety must all be addressed within the same response system.
Slow Response Time
Launching and navigating rescue boats takes time, while weather, currents, and obstacles add delays.
Changing Water Conditions
Debris, drifting victims, currents, darkness, and fog make the scene difficult to assess continuously.
Limited Capacity and Range
Available boats and personnel may be insufficient when casualties are numerous or widely dispersed.
Night and Harsh Weather
Low light, fog, rain, and storms reduce the effectiveness of traditional observation and rescue methods.
Risk to Human Rescuers
Direct water entry exposes rescue teams to drowning, collision, and entrapment hazards.
Disconnected Rescue Assets
Drones, boats, sonar, and shore systems may operate separately, delaying coordinated decisions.
Application Environments
Lakes and Reservoirs
Response to swimmers, boaters, or visitors falling into the water.
Rivers and Canyons
Strong currents, steep banks, and difficult shoreline access.
Coasts and Ferry Routes
Victims may drift far from the incident point under waves and tides.
Floods and Flash Floods
Rapid support for communities trapped by rising water.
Night and Fog
Technology-assisted detection when conventional visual rescue is limited.
Integrated Rescue System
The solution connects aerial delivery, surface recovery, underwater detection, centralized command, and medical support in one modular operating framework.
Aerial-Water Rescue
Remote-controlled rescue drones deliver lifebuoys, while a flying lifeboat can reach a person in the water and carry them back toward shore.
Unmanned Rescue Units
USVs, self-righting rescue boats, smart floating devices, and tow systems support approach and recovery.
Sonar Detection
Sonar systems map underwater obstacles and assist with target detection in difficult conditions.
Communication Hub
A centralized platform combines UAVs, USVs, sonar, GIS, real-time video, thermal imaging, and redundant communication links.
Medical and Transport Support
Folding stretchers, oxygen kits, first-aid modules, and rapid transfer support the handover to shore or hospital teams.
Coordinated Rescue Workflow
An emergency alert activates the response team.
The drone and USV deploy toward the incident.
The drone finds the victim and delivers a lifebuoy.
The USV navigates to the victim’s position.
The victim is transported safely to shore.
The medical team takes over care and transport.
Equipment returns to standby for the next response.
Support for Special Conditions
Night and Fog
Infrared cameras, spotlights, and sonar navigation.
Maritime Rescue
Extended-range drones and anti-wave rescue boats.
Mass Incidents
Centrally coordinated fleets of multiple UAVs and USVs.
Complex Terrain
Sonar mapping and obstacle-avoidance USVs.
Operational Advantages
Rapid Response
Drones can reach an incident within minutes, protecting the critical early rescue window.
Wide-Area Detection
Aerial views and thermal imaging help reduce blind zones and locate victims accurately.
Direct Rescue Delivery
UAVs and USVs can deliver lifebuoys, rescue kits, or flotation devices immediately.
Day-Night Operation
The system supports work in darkness, rain, fog, and storm conditions.
Safer for Rescuers
Remote equipment reduces the need for personnel to enter dangerous water directly.
Scalable and Modular
Components can be combined according to the environment and mission.
Cost and Training Support
The modular approach lowers long-term operating costs and supports simulation exercises.
Transparent Command
Real-time dashboards support faster, better-informed rescue decisions.
Implementation Roadmap
Deployment can begin with focused high-risk areas, followed by equipment matching, resilient communications, training, maintenance, and continuous operational improvement.
