Interessante novità nel mondo delle capacità di soccorso in mare: la ditta britannica Elbit ha applicato ai suoi droni Hermes900 per pattugliamento marittimo un sistema salvataggio per le vite in mare. Come ben evidenziato nell'articolo il soccorso in mare è funzione delle capacità di resistenza del personale di volo e dell'autonomia dei mezzi che, con condimeteo avverse, si riduce drasticamente. Con questo sistema non si mettono in pericolo altre vite e l'autonomia del mezzo (si parla di oltre 24 ore) permette importanti incrementi nelle capacità di soccorso.

Il contenitore applicato sotto la fusoliera contiene dei gommoni autogonfiabili, evidentemente dotati di tutti gli apparati previsti dalle norme internazionali, che  possono essere sganciati con precsione in prossimità del punto di soccorso.

Elbit introduce drone based long-range maritime rescue capability

WP_Hermes900-Maritime-SaR-body-drop-clos

“Integrating detection and identification capabilities, onboard inflated life-rafts, and precision dispatch capability, enables the UAS to perform long-range maritime Search and Rescue (SaR) missions. Such a configured Hermes 900 Maritime Patrol UAS was recently delivered to an undisclosed customer in South-East Asia.

Adverse weather conditions and short endurance significantly degrade the SaR capabilities of manned aircraft, often preventing them from executing their missions. Capable of more than 24 hours of continuous flight, the Hermes 900 Maritime Patrol can operate in adverse weather conditions in both day and night. Equipped with the new SaR capability the UAS can increase the number of SaR missions that can be safely executed and improve the safety and effectiveness of maritime SaR response.”
