Water Rescue Drone
Rapid water rescue support for floods, coastal response, and open-water emergencies.
Jal Viman is positioned as an advanced unmanned surface vehicle for agencies and operators that need to reach people in the water quickly while reducing risk to responders.
Product overview
Jal Viman is purpose-built for rescue teams working across flood-prone zones, coastal environments, canals, ports, and disaster-response corridors where seconds matter and traditional deployment can be too slow.
The platform combines autonomous GPS navigation, a self-righting hull, dual lithium batteries, telemetry-enabled remote control, and modular rescue accessories to support faster reach, better visibility, and safer intervention from shore, bridge, or vessel.
Key capabilities
- Autonomous rescue waypoint navigation for repeatable response routes in flood, coastal, and open-water conditions
- Self-righting hull design that resumes navigation after overturn and helps preserve mission continuity
- Remote-control operation with live telemetry for battery status, GPS coordinates, and speed visibility
- Multiple return protections including one-key, lost-contact, low-power, and GPS return modes
- High-altitude emergency deployment from bridges or helicopters with self-righting recovery on water impact
- Modular accessories for louder survivor guidance, search support, and field-specific rescue configuration
