# 2015 Open Water Guard |
Open Water Guard is an emergency rescue system designed to save cruise ship passengers, who have fallen overboard. Due to the difficulty of stopping and turning around a cruise ship, it takes more than seven hours to recover a passenger. Open Water Guard reduces this time to minutes. When a passenger goes overboard, a drone is dispatched, locating the passenger and releasing a light-weight, self-inflating life raft to provide protection until help arrives.
