This team is working on an alarm system to alert fishermen

The device will give a phone call alert whenever fishermen approach towards maritime border.

Innovation Title : Alert Fishermen Alarm System
Introduction:
For the past few decades, our fishermen are facing life threatening challenges near the Indian territory. Due to lack of knowledge about the maritime border and lack of technology, they were crossing the International border, their life is at risk. We decided to help these fishermen by using latest technology to communicate their location at the time of challenges. So we have chosen this theme.


Proposed System
Our proposed system will help Fishermen not to cross the International marine border during deep sea fishing, where the current VHF device does not function. Our device will give a phone call alert whenever fishermen approach towards maritime border, thus helping them to be always within our territory. Our Proposed system is based upon the NAVIC system; through which we can identify the location of fishermen in the deep sea.

The Specialty of our device is that it sends call alerts even when there is no network coverage. Using our system, Fishermen can communicate both onshore and offshore (i.e.) within nearby boats and with land control. Our autonomous vehicle will help fishermen to communicate with others using their NAVIC based Smartphone app. Also our system will help them to guide pathway, navigation route. This makes our device more innovative and different. We are proud that our device not only innovative but also lifesaving.
