A drone capable of detecting sharks with a 90 per cent success rate will roll-out at Australian beaches next summer to help prevent deadly attacks.
The Westpac Little Ripper Lifesaver can spot sharks from the air in real-time and alert swimmers through an in-built megaphone.
Little Ripper Chief operating officer Ben Trollope told 9 News the drone will detect sharks quicker and help save more lives.
Ground-breaking drone technology means the Little Ripper is capable of distinguishing between sharks and other marine life.
The result is a shark-patrol that is up to eight times more effective than traditional methods.
