US Army tests DRONES to deliver blood and medical supplies in dangerous battlefield situations
The US Army tested drones to deliver medical supplies during dangerous battlefield scenarios to wounded warriors. During a recent training exercise in California led by the US with militaries of other nations, drones dropped simulated blood and other crucial medical supplies to soldiers as part of Project Crimson. This type of technology would be deployed in circumstances where it wouldn't be safe to send people on foot for help. The drone is a vertical landing and take-off aircraft, so it does not need a runway or catapult launch to perform this life-saving missions, according to the Army. That feature allows soldiers to preserve life in the early phase immediately after an injury and help to facilitate transportation to an Army hospital.
