Australia time 10 a.m. on January 18, 16-year-old Monty Greenslade and 17-year-old Gabe Vidlerwere swimming by the coast of Lennox Head, New South Wales (NSW), and unfortunately washed away by the waves. Fortunately, two teenage girls found them struggling in the sea. The two boys were trapped by a 10-foot-high ocean wave, and the boats were unable to get near them, but eventually, a drone took off and sent them an inflatable life-saving device to save them.
FPV Quadcopter has recorded this whole scene - the remote drone flew to the top of two boys and dropped an inflatable life-saving device, and landed the inflatable rescue pod within their reach. The drone took the life-saving device to them in less than 35 seconds. They clutched the life-saving device and were washed back to the shore by the waves, and finally, the lifeguard saved them.
The two boys were completely safe now except for fatigue. Ben Trollope, chief search and rescue drone operating officer of Westpac Little Ripper, claimed: "Two teenage girls called the Coast Command and we sent a rescue squad. The device was inflated in seconds. "
Team CEO Eddie Bennet said: "UAS technology has been developed for three years to ensure the world's first rescue mission is completed and the rescue of two boys trapped in a 3-meter-high ocean wave clearly demonstrates the benefits of this cutting-edge technology in such a time-critical emergency, which can be said as a huge success of drone rescue and Australia is ahead of the world in this technology. "
In December 2017, the state government bought more than $ 430,000 to buy several drones. In addition to life-saving RC Quadcopter equipped with life-saving float, alarm system and loudspeaker, a part of the drones are specially designed to detect offshore sharks to ensure the safety of surfing people.
