When a person starts drowning and taking on water, rescuers have around 90 seconds beforebrain damage can begin to set in and the person loses consciousness, therefore speed is of theessence in water rescues. Existing paddleboards rely on the skill and strength of the rescuer.With many charity/ volunteer run lifeguard stations they do not have a large budget fortraining and motorised jet skis – and to cover the ongoing running costs.The Asap Rescue Hero is a small one-person launch, electric motorised rescue craft. Beingpowered by electric it is cost effective and can be recharged using renewable energy sources.The craft can also be deployed in hard to reach locations such as caves and narrow windingsand can be used in search and rescue.There is international demand for this product from lifeguard organisations and sports andleisure businesses running water based events. The Asap Rescue Hero has an innovativeenclosed propulsion system which prevents injury from blades and makes it safe to use in awide range of environments.This project is to fully develop the propulsion system and make 10 pre production prototypesfor evaluation in different rescue scenarios.The initial business plan is to manufacture the units in the UK and sell up to 1000 units perannum within 5 years with over half being exported to target territories including Australia,South Africa and Europe. The key focus is to save lives, but the unit has a wider downstreamapplication as a leisure craft, which will generate revenues which can be used not only togrow the business, but also to support provision to the rescue sector.

当一个人开始溺水和进水时，救援人员在大脑损伤开始出现并失去知觉之前有大约90秒的时间，因此在水上救援中速度是至关重要的。现有的滑板依赖于救援人员的技能和力量。由于有许多慈善/志愿者运营的救生站，他们没有大笔预算用于培训和机动喷气式滑雪板，并支付持续的运营成本。ASAP Rescue Hero是一种小型单人下水电动机动救援船。它由电力驱动，性价比高，可以使用可再生能源充电。它也可以部署在难以到达的地方，如洞穴和狭窄的绳索，可以用于搜索和救援。救生员组织和体育休闲企业对这种产品的国际需求来自于举办基于水的活动的活动。ASAP救援英雄拥有一个创新的封闭式推进系统，可以防止叶片受伤，并使其在各种环境中使用都是安全的。该项目旨在全面开发推进系统，并制作10个试生产原型，用于不同救援场景的评估。最初的业务计划是在英国制造这些单元，并在5年内销售多达1000个单元，其中一半以上出口到目标地区，包括澳大利亚、南非和欧洲。关键的重点是拯救生命，但该部门还有更广泛的下游应用，作为休闲船只，这将产生收入，不仅可用于发展业务，还可用于支持救援部门的供应。
