SPL05: Application to aid sea rescue operations

Create an application that speeds up and optimizes the execution of rescue attempts at sea which in turn increases the chances of survival of parties in need of aid as well as those performing the rescue attempt.
The application would consist of two parts: a quick SOS button for phones which would send out coordinates to relevant organizations and a monitoring application for computers which would simulate potential movement of the party in need of help due to enviromental forces, as well as tracking the movement of rescue service boats.
