Abstract: The present invention relates to an autonomous navigating rescue boat. The system integrates a power system (1000) comprising a battery and power distribution board, a flight controller (1001) serving as the central computational unit, and a GPS module (1002) for precise location and route tracking. A telemetry system (1003) enables bidirectional data exchange with a base station (1004) for route planning, real-time monitoring, and disaster communication. An additional communication system (1005) employing RF/Wi-Fi ensures extended external connectivity. Propulsion is achieved by motors and ESCs (1006) providing thrust and maneuverability. The modular 3D-printed hull (1007) securely houses components and ensures buoyancy and stability. For situational awareness, an ultrasonic sensor (1008) detects obstacles, while a water quality sensor (1009) monitors environmental parameters. Coordinated functioning of these components enables autonomous navigation, rescue operations, and environmental monitoring with high reliability and cost-effectiveness.
