“They can fly at varying heights and hover to investigate and pinpoint locations with GPS technology.”
Yer gotta wonder if they looked into it or just got caught up in the helicopter 'aura'.... that expensive helicopter aura..
Yer can get a cheap little strut mounted gimbal FLIR/SWIR/visual camera for a cessna that can give a GPS position of a swimer. If spam can number one goes unservicable just swap the gimbal camera to spam can number two. Cheaper, and less annoying, then havin a woptering wockter dronning up and down the beach.
