In a major breakthrough for emergency response and rescue technology, SOS Marine proudly announces the SOS Rescue Log — Its Life-Saving that can be THROWN to person in water struggling to stay afloat. The first drone-compatible flotation device designed to autonomously reach and assist individuals in high-risk, hard-to-access environments.
Designed to overcome the limitations of traditional manual rescue gear, the SOS Rescue Log integrates advanced UAV technology to deliver autonomous, precise, and rapid deployment, revolutionising life-saving capabilities in maritime, flood, and disaster scenarios.
Revolutionary Features
- Certified and Enhanced for Visibility
Certified under ISO 12402-9-2020, ensuring the highest safety standards.
- Equipped with SOLAS-approved water-activated lights and reflective webbing for use in low-light conditions.
- Compact and Visible
Lightweight and brightly coloured for maximum visibility, the SOS Rescue Log is easy to store and deploy under extreme conditions.
- Drone-Compatible Deployment
Integrates seamlessly with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for remote and autonomous operation in areas unsafe or inaccessible to rescuers.
- Auto-Inflation & Vacuum-Sealed Safety
Features an automatic inflation mechanism activated upon water contact, ensuring immediate flotation—critical if the victim is incapacitated. Vacuum-sealed packaging prevents accidental deployment and is safe for aerial transport.
Why It's a Market First
The SOS Rescue Log is the only flotation device on the market with certified UAV deployment capability. It has been successfully tested in real-world rescue missions, including saving two people in rough seas via drone deployment.
With search and rescue markets projected to exceed $150 billion by 2030 and UAV operations growing at 25% CAGR, the SOS Rescue Log meets urgent global needs in maritime safety, emergency response, and disaster relief.
Strategic Business Impact
The SOS Rescue Log is a cornerstone of SOS Marine's innovation strategy, strengthening its leadership in life-saving technologies. Its drone integration opens up new sectors and revenue streams, offering multi-environment versatility for government agencies, emergency services, maritime operators, and humanitarian organisations.
