This high tech drone is the brainchild of Australia’s first astronaut and a philanthropist, where he thought of it after a friend was killed by a shark. Meant to patrol New South Wales’s coast, the Little Ripper drone will keep a keen eye out for great whites and other sharks that are prone to having humans as prey. I don’t suppose it won’t look out for foolish folks who drag a beached shark out of the water just to snap a selfie with it, right?
Each of the Little Rippers will cost a whopping $250,000, where trials will kick off at the state’s shark-infested north coast in a matter of days.
