Aqua Wings is an autonomous drone system designed to detect drowning individuals and deliver immediate life-saving support.
Detects drowning in real-time using advanced AI vision technology
Navigates autonomously to the victim using GPS and SLAM technology
Deploys a floating rescue device with precision targeting
Returns to base or hovers awaiting further instruction
Born from a mission to save lives using technology. Aqua Wings emerged from the recognition that traditional water rescue methods often fall short when every second counts. Our innovative approach combines cutting-edge AI, autonomous navigation, and rapid deployment systems to create a solution that acts before it's too late.
To empower every waterbody—whether natural or man-made—with intelligent rescue technology that acts before it's too late.
A world where no one drowns unnoticed. We envision AI drones stationed across beaches, ships, and lakes—ready to respond in seconds.
Conceptualized AI-powered water rescue system
Built first working prototype with basic AI detection
Extensive testing and AI model refinement
Real-world testing in controlled environments
Preparing for commercial deployment
Drones patrol coasts and react faster than lifeguards, providing 24/7 surveillance of popular beach areas.
Night rescues on open sea are extremely difficult—Aqua Wings fills the gap with instant response capabilities.
Saves cadets in underwater training mishaps with rapid deployment and precision targeting.
Reaches victims trapped in waterlogged areas unreachable by boat or traditional rescue methods.
Fast response during public emergencies in recreational water facilities and natural bodies of water.
Waterproof, lightweight carbon fiber construction
Pixhawk flight controller for precise navigation
Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano for AI processing
HD + IR support for day and night operations
Servo/motor-controlled payload release mechanism
LiPo battery system with ~30 minutes runtime
Trained on drowning gestures and body language patterns
GPS + SLAM + PID control for autonomous flight
2.4GHz/5GHz RF, 4G LTE fallback connectivity
Obstacle avoidance, auto-return safety features
Footage is processed locally and only essential data is transmitted. No permanent storage of personal imagery.
All training data is anonymized and used solely for improving rescue detection accuracy.
System is designed exclusively for emergency rescue operations and cannot be used for surveillance purposes.
Project Lead & AI Systems Engineer
Ramachokkalingam S A leads the Aqua Wings project, specializing in AI, computer vision, and autonomous drone systems.
Hardware & Embedded Systems Specialist
Integrates drone hardware, lifebuoy deployment mechanisms, and embedded systems for real-time rescue operations.
Our AI model currently achieves 95% accuracy in controlled testing environments. We continuously improve the model through machine learning and real-world data collection.
Aqua Wings is designed with weather-resistant materials and has built-in safety protocols. In severe weather, the system automatically grounds itself and alerts operators.
A single drone can carry multiple rescue devices and can be deployed to help multiple victims. Our system also supports coordinated multi-drone operations.
Aqua Wings complements human lifeguards by providing 24/7 monitoring, faster response times, and the ability to reach difficult locations. It's designed to work alongside, not replace, human rescuers.
We're currently in the field testing phase and working towards commercial availability. Contact us to join our pilot program or express interest for future deployment.
