There are many single function electronic decoys on the current market. These decoys are expensive and can either flap wings, create ripples, control direction, or give fixed mechanical movement to multiple decoys.

RCD2 combines all features into one realistic decoy Full Motion Wireless Control Wake Creation System Flapping Wing Simulator Swarm Control

TypeNameConstraint SustainabilityReliabilityThe decoys must be sufficiently robust to account for harsh conditions. The batteries must have at least a six hour life and be rechargeable. EconomicCostThe total cost of parts per duck shall not exceed $300

Waterproof Six hour battery life Durable Rechargeable
