Battlefield MedUAV Being Planned
May 20, 08 07:48 PM PDT
Folks at Israel's Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies are currently working on the first unpiloted battlefield resupply and evacuation aircraft in the world known as MedUAV. It bears a design that harks back to 1960s science fiction, but the purported performance specifications are nothing to sneeze at. Landing-to-evacuation time could potentially be as short as 45 seconds, while the patient pod is adequately equipped with sensors and a communications system, enabling doctors to interact with the patient en route to the hospital. Initial test flights will happen within a couple years' time, and it will have a 4-person payload, hitting the skies at 10,000 feet with speeds of up to 150 knots.
