G'day CetaceanThe Little Ripper as pictured in your link is getting plenty of air time down under. News reports are now suggesting some pretty good algorithms are being tested to detect sharks amongst dolphins, turtles and other sea life more accurately than people can. Interesting times ahead given recent shark attacks.

Aloha Spike,

     That is good news.  We are just happy to be having the new technology get used rather than despised by the unimaginative few.  So it is called The Little Ripper?  You guys down under are way ahead of us.  I noticed that there are two sizes, does the larger one drop off inflatable flotation or is that a different design?

     The legislature did kill a restrictive drone bill recently.  Maybe that is why the article came out?  Drones have way more usefulness than problems.

Aloha and Drone On!
