Using novative UAVs to support maritime emergency operations

Abstract


In the past years, the airship industry became an emerging business with the possibility of developing new transport methods for both tools and people by respecting the environmental constraints given by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. With this paper, we want to describe a possible scenario of applying this technology. The issue of lost or broken equipment on marine infrastructures is not a rare event. The scenario proposed regarding the delivery of equipment and spare parts to an oil station at sea broke pipe during a storm. We think that the suggested application of this technology may, in the future, help many people. By showing the calculations of the final chapter, we think that using the airships will be a convenient technology in the near future to solve these problems without involving human personnel.
