The UAV Challenge organisers are very grateful for the Silver sponsorship of Little Ripper Lifesaver. Little Ripper Lifesaver is a ground breaking high tech initiative utilising military grade, single rotor, unmanned aerial helicopters for search and rescue (SAR). The Little Ripper UAVs carry electro optic and infrared cameras, and can drop ULB Life Saving Pods to people in distress. Integrated into the commercial communication networks, they will be able to transmit lifesaving data in real time right across Australia.
