Various Rescues - 2026
As some of you may be aware from my posts on LinkedIn, or maybe not, this year has been not only more responsive in the SAR Water Rescue space for drones, but also in actual rescues. This year, we already have three (3) confirmed rescues.
FDNY - two rescues - June 2 and July 25
Ocean County Sheriff - one rescue - July 17
Both agencies deployed Restube EFDs (emergency flotation devices)
- two kids, a girl, and an adult in distress. We look forward to hearing your user stories, as well as any questions that you may have on flotation deployment, or overall payload deployment.
I’ll add them to our presentations. 👍
Demo - LB Lifeguards - NY (2019)

TJ: Looks great. Are there any still photos? Hard to tell with the FPV drone the action as it circles.
