HOVER HERO is a completely hands-free aerial drone that follows you while swimming, surfing, or snorkeling and uses novel firmware and software to detect sharks in real time. It’s your lifeguard in the sky, alerting you instantly through the HERO Smart Band when danger is nearby.

Lifeguards are great at rescuing a person after an attack has taken plus but wouldn't it be better to have a "Lifeguard in the Sky" that would alert you before an attack ever happens?

HOVER HERO transforms the way people record their adventures. Whether surfing, skiing, swimming, or golfing, users can capture cinematic, real-time footage with zero manual control. The drone locks onto the user via a connected smart band or smartwatch and flies autonomously, tracking every move while automatically saving all footage directly into the companion app. This creates a frictionless, hands-free content-creation experience that no mainstream drone on the market offers.

Simply sync the HERO smart band or smartwatch with the HOVER HERO through the mobile app, set the hovering height between 5 and 300 feet, and go worry-free. The HOVER HERO autonomously monitors the surrounding water, using advanced AI-driven identification software, proprietary firmware, and enhanced lidar technology to detect the movement and shape of sharks. If an apex predator is identified, the system sends an immediate haptic alert to the smart band, signaling the user to exit the water. All detections are automatically captured and stored as images within the app. This combination of autonomous flight, intelligent threat detection, and seamless user integration positions HOVER HERO not only as a life-saving safety platform but also as a next-generation lifestyle brand aligned with ocean culture and shark conservation.

Simply place the HERO Smart Band on your child, set the desired hovering height, and release the HOVER HERO. The drone will autonomously follow and monitor your child, allowing you to view real-time video directly through the HOVER HERO mobile app from the comfort of your home. Because the system is completely controllerless and only responds to the designated smart band, it includes an inherent privacy and security advantage—no one else can control or redirect the drone. This eliminates complexity for parents while ensuring that monitoring remains safe, private, and effortless.

HOVER HERO addresses the primary need of enhancing personal safety in the ocean by providing a real-time aerial view of the area and analyzing the water for movements and shapes of sharks with haptic response communication to their presence allowing the user to feel at ease in the ocean without fear of shark attacks. This capability is particularly appealing in beach cities, where ocean activities are a significant part of the lifestyle. HOVER HERO users can enjoy the water with more confidence, contributing to a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. As stated, one of the standout features of HOVER HERO is an industry first-of-its-kind drone to smart band alert system. This technology allows the user to remove him/herself from the ocean in a timely manner without possible injury from a shark.

The HOVER HERO can be set to hover between 5 - 300 feet above the user, seeing up to two football fields wide and a football field deep, encompassing five acres at its highest point. If a shark enters this area the HOVER HERO will send a haptic response immediately to the Hero Smart Band on the wrist or arm alerting the user to safely leave the water.
