Intelligent salvage alert shark attack

In the new technology, the warning signal is sent to satellites and then transferred to the rescue team on the coast.

Australia has developed an intelligent life buoy combined with state-of-the-art technology to protect swimmers and surfers from the risk of shark attacks.

This intelligent rescue buoy was developed by the Shark Attack System Company. Lifeboats can detect sharks in seawater through the detection of water bodies by ultrasound and satellite-based warning technology.

Co-Founder of the Shark Attack Risk Reduction System Company, Hamish Jolly said: 'The test found two really important things. First, we can detect sharks by using ultrasonic water navigation systems. This was previously difficult to implement. Secondly, we can identify the shark's swimming patterns, and then detect them among other objects in the water. "

When the system detects a shark, it sends a signal to a satellite and then sends a warning signal to the shore rescue team via a light on the rescue tower.

Bruce Hopkins, head of Perth's coast rescue team, said the device could be a groundbreaking technology: "The new technology of smart buoys is very important to rescue workers. . We will get a signal when there is a strange object going into the area, and then decide whether to warn the traveler or just take the plane to check. "

The new shark warning system has not yet been sold in the market as the software is still improving.
