rescue drone

Flying emergency helper

A rescue drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to assist in emergency situations.

These drones locate missing persons, deliver supplies to stranded victims, or drop flotation devices to drowning swimmers.

They extend the reach of search-and-rescue teams into difficult terrain: The rescue drone spotted the hiker on a remote ledge.
