Tube Shooting Device is designed to be used in sea rescue operations, especially in situations when the rescue team has difficulties or is unable to reach the victim.

Developed from the idea that a person caught in an emergency situation at sea would have to be rescued in the shortest time possible, Tube Shooting Device provides a quick, alternative solution to current sea rescue methods by helicopter or boat that require a lot of man power and equipment. Tube Shooting Device enables the rescue team to carry out rescue operations more accurately, efficiently and safely.

Rescue equipment is critical to the success of rescue operations. Tube Shooting Device aids in the rescue operation by increasing the accuracy of the device thrown in the direction of the victim, and hence, reduces the time taken to save him or her. Current equipment, such as the tube and the rope, are often time-consuming to use and are inaccurate, requiring them to be thrown repeatedly at the victim. Tube Shooting Device is designed to counter these problems and helps the tube reach its target with accuracy.
