Air cannon based electronic lifeguard system

Drowning is one of the largest cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide. This problem remains prominent in almost every kind of water body, guarded or unguarded. It is a major issue with very trivial and inefficient solutions currently available. Our paper intends to provide a proposal to help resolving this problem. We propose a system which would act instantly and intelligently in case of any such emergency. The main idea of the system is to send out a projectile from the land to the water body, containing a basic safety package, to the person in distress and alerting the concerned emergency related authorities too. Hence, giving the drowning person enough support and help to either get back to safety or at least stay alive till the authorities arrive for help. For understanding the distress condition of the swimmer a remote distress device is used for sending the distress signal. This provides a novel solution to the soaring issue of drowning and is meant to surely save lives.
