The drone used in that situation is the "Little Ripper Lifesaver" which supposedly sells for around $50k[1]. From TFA, the cost for the boat was around $12k. That means this is about 4x more expensive, not 20x. That doesn't include the droppable inflatable boat but that is probably not going to break the bank either. 1: https://www.insidehook.com/culture/little-ripper-rescue-drone-australia-lifeguard-saves-lives https://www.insidehook.com/culture/little-ripper-rescue-dron...
