The conceptual 'LIFE DRONE' has been designed by Hyunjun Choi as a search and rescue technology solution that would help operators to maximize their ability to quickly offer assistance to those in need.
The drone is focused on a hybrid design that will function effectively in the air as well as on the water and will spring to action when prompted by the report of someone in danger. Upon locating the person, the drone would land on the surface of the water and inflate a life raft for the person to board.
The conceptual 'LIFE DRONE' would quickly drive the survivor to land upon being boarded to help them get to safety as quickly as possible for potential emergency care, if required.
