About

About Dolphin 1

Dolphin 1 is a compact remotely operated rescue craft designed to reach a person in the water without first sending a rescuer into the hazard. A casualty can hold the buoyant body while the shore operator guides the unit back.

OceanAlpha positions the platform for beaches, rivers, reservoirs and flood-response work. Its role is rapid remote flotation and return rather than autonomous passenger transport or general-purpose surface surveying.
