Waterproof Rescue Drone

Overview

Water, Wind … Whatever

Every part of SplashDrone 3+ is 100% waterproof and seawater ready. Not only is the airframe water-sealed and pressure tested, the internal electronics are also coated for further corrosion-resistance. The robust 450mm ABS shell and full carbon fiber propellers provide the durability to fly in harsh environments. The new propulsion combo and flight controller provide tremendous horsepower and control even in winds up to 18 mph (30km/h) (Beaufort Force 4) with gusts to Force 6.

Drone Search & Rescue Made Easy

Quick Set Up

The release mechanism, propellers and landing gears all connect to the drone quickly and easily to minimize setup. Attaching your life saving equipment just takes a second.

Auto Hover

Dual GPS and other sensors enable SplashDrone 3+ to automatically hover at its current position and altitude.

Drop & Return – Automatically

Once you’ve dropped your life saving aid, just flick the Return-Home switch and the SplashDrone 3+ will automatically return and land gently at the take-off point – so you can focus on the persons in distress.

Payload Modules

SAR2 HD Low Light Camera & Payload Release Designed for lifesaving as well as Search and Rescue operations in low-light conditions, the SAR2 payload release module incorporates a full-HD low-light colour camera, remote control and tilt gimbal as well as a specially designed rescue buoyancy sausage for life saving and rescue operations. Get live as well as recorded video footage from the drone and accurately locate your rescue target before remotely dropping the rescue sausage or other payloads up to 1.2kg.

SAR1 All Of The Above Without The Camera Lights

Controller

All in One Remote Controller

The SplashDrone 3+ comes with a custom designed, fully integrated remote controller. Redesigned controls maximize ease-of-use and efficiency, while a fully integrated, high-brightness 5″ FPV screen clearly displays live video and overlaid (OSD) flight data without the need for any additional equipment. Flight control, payload release and camera controls are all at your fingertips.

Cruise Mode

Switch the remote controller into the Cruise mode and you will be able to pan (yaw) and fly the SplashDrone 3+ simultaneously with a single joystick.

Smooth+ Control

Go from joystick to fine knob control of drone rotation, direction or orbit – great for smooth videos and accurate flight.

 

 

Features

Tough & Waterproof

The SplashDrone 3+ fuselage is made from durable 3mm reinforced ABS to ensure a perfect waterproof seal.

Each drone undergoes at least two pressure tests during production for 100% waterproofness. All parts, both inside and out, are corrosion resistant and designed for use in marine environments.

New access hatch lid with air pressure equalization allows altimeter accuracy without permitting water entry.

Powerful Propulsion System

The new S3 flight controller, integrated with new sensors and a powerful propulsion system, allows for greater sensitivity and accuracy than ever. This means you can fly SplashDrone 3+ safely and smoothly with more confidence on water, in rain and snow.

The S3 constantly checks for errors and offers redundancy to improve flight stability. The dual-mode GPS locks onto up to 24 satellites from the GPS and GLONASS systems for improved accuracy and speed of positioning.

Quick Fit Propellers

Redesigned carbon-fibre propellers are light and stiff to efficiently transform the motors’ power into thrust. A new quick-fit design enables fast and secure attachment of the propellers to the motors.

High Thrust Motors

The powerful new motors provide strong performance, speed and lifting capacity. A special coating system ensures maximum resistance to salt water corrosion and power delivery for take-off from water and in heavy rain.

Fly Safely

SplashDrone 3+ includes multiple layers of protection to keep your aircraft safe and help ensure your drone comes home safely.

Return Home

If the signal is lost, the SplashDrone 3+ returns to the starting point and lands gently. You can also tap Return-Home on the app or flick the Return-Home switch on the remote controller to retrieve the drone.

Low Battery Alerts

During flight, if the battery voltage reaches a two predetermined warning levels, the remote controller will display a clear flashing notice for the pilot.

Low Battery Auto-landing

When the battery is almost completely drained, SplashDrone 3+ will execute an in-position auto landing to prevent a crash.

Lost Drone Location Beacon

If you inadvertently lose or crash your drone out of sight, you will instantly have the drone’s location pinpointed on the APP’s map, even with low batteries. (GroundStation module is required. Can be purchased separately for APP use).

Self Right When Floating

If the aircraft is inverted when on the water, the SplashDrone 3+ can flip itself right-side-up on command – ready to take off again.

Fly Autonomously

 

Add the GroundStation option and your mobile phone or GPS-enabled tablet can take control of the SplashDrone 3+ with your fingertip! Please note Groundstation is not included it must be added at checkout or seperately. The Swellpro FLY APP enables several smart flight modes, which drastically reduces manual input from the pilot, making flying the SplashDrone 3+ even easier.

Follow Me

The SplashDrone 3+ will constantly follow and turn towards you as you move at a max speed of 20km/hour.

Mission Planning

Tap to select waypoints on a map and the SplashDrone 3+ will execute the mission on command.

Circling Flight

Select a circling radius and the number of orbits to keep eyes on your chosen subject always in the middle of the frame.

Tap to Fly

Tap on the map where you want your drone to go and SplashDrone 3+ will navigate to the destination and hover.
