Third leading cause of unintentional death of total world population is drowning. Mostly, rescue attempts ends in failure mainly because of the due to long search time because of the absence of suitable and affordable aid which helps in searching .Current models of underwater drone are used in ocean are not used in local streams. Main disadvantages of the current models are that, they are designed for high cost, complex design etc. In the analysis it was found that the proposed design withstands the operation conditions of an underwater drone. It achieves stable equilibrium in fully merged condition. And it was found that the drone can achieve a speed up to .9m/s in the flow and work comfortably at a depth of 1km by using fiber glass body. The design also allows the installation of more gadgets like sonar and other devices. In the future application or as an extension of the project the drone can be used for many other purposes like under water exploration, useful tool for fishermen etc.
