Americans will appreciate the suitability of drones to evacuate the wounded

The US Army's Telemedicine and Advanced Technologies Research Center in Maryland will soon begin to investigate the conditions in which a wounded soldier will find himself when evacuating from the battlefield using an unmanned aerial vehicle. According to Aviation Week, a helicopter-type drone Dragonfly Pictures DP-14 Hawk, developed specifically for the delivery of ammunition and the transport of the wounded, will be used for this. Military experts intend to assess whether the drone is suitable for medical evacuation.

As part of the study, American military specialists intend to place in the transport compartment drone DP-14 several types of sensors that will measure the intensity and frequency of vibration, noise level, temperature, atmospheric pressure, acceleration and maneuvering parameters of the aircraft. The same sensors will be installed on the UH-60M Black Hawk manned multi-purpose helicopter (such machines are used by the US Army for medical evacuation).

After taking all the measurements, the researchers will compare the data from the sensors installed on the helicopter with the data obtained from the sensors on the drone. Based on this, conclusions will be drawn about the suitability of the drone for transporting the wounded. In the event that the conditions in the DP-14 transport compartment are deemed unacceptable for transporting wounded soldiers, the developer may be given a task to modify the unmanned vehicle. Exactly when it is planned to start testing is not specified.

The DP-14 unmanned helicopter is built in a longitudinal pattern with two rotors. In the same way, for example, the American heavy transport helicopter CH-47 Chinook was designed. The mass of DP-14 is 408 kilograms. The device, equipped with a turboshaft engine, can carry loads weighing up to 195 kilograms. The duration of its flight is 2,4 hours. The volume of the transport compartment of the DP-14 is 0,7 cubic meters; It can fit one person.

Dragonfly Pictures DP-14 is capable of speeds up to 105 nodes (about 195 kilometers per hour and fly at altitudes up to 4,6 thousands of meters. The device is expected to be able to fly fully offline.

If the drone shows good results during testing, then a purchase will be made. Enough money.

how many people can he evacuate

Whatever it is, it will save the lives of their soldiers and save the lives of the helicopter rescue pilots. And the lives of their soldiers are above all for them.
In any case, it is safer, more efficient and cheaper than driving the Mi-8 and risking the lives of several pilots and an expensive helicopter.

[tforik]

Sober assessment!
Excellent development, fellow Americans

[sabakina]

Sharansky, these drones are for the removal of the wounded from the jo, excuse me, the rear of the enemy. Are you going to "take" the Capitol or the White House?

[Sharansky]

Is it banal to take a wounded Russian special forces soldier out of the Caucasian gorge from somewhere?

[reservist]

More of these drones, i.e. wounded.
And for the "two hundredth" drones are not needed. The bag is enough.

We are waiting for a small "Abrams")))

In the event that the conditions in the DP-14 transport compartment are deemed unacceptable for transporting wounded soldiers, the developer may be given a task to modify the unmanned vehicle.

And to improve, throw in a little more money ...

It is useless to modify - this will lead again to the creation of a heavy and ineffective machine. Therefore, it is necessary to change the fundamental foundations of the propulsion system, which would radically change both the payload and safety and range and stealth, etc.

Therefore, it is necessary to change the fundamental foundations of the motor system,

Which? Anti-gravity engines have not yet been invented.

[gridasov]

The theoretical principles of the so-called anti-gravity engine are known. It is a fact! The fact that they do not undertake to do it is another matter. But I'm talking about a real engine, or rather movers with elements of a motor function using, for example, an electrical basis, but built on other algorithms of the physical process organized in it. ... Therefore, if you see the reasons that the screw cannot be unscrewed above the certain limits of rotation speeds and understand the reasons for this phenomenon, then you can create such a propeller. And there is nothing fantastic in this.

[Just a man]

Judging by the analysis of the development of drone technologies, they have great prospects in all types of operational combat activities and support for the drone. Here, unfortunately, we are lagging behind and seriously. And one of the reasons is the lack of a clear formulation of TK.

Okay, I'll develop my thought. Many friends passed hot spots, told a lot of things. One wounded - the RDG got up, the task cannot be performed. driving MI-8 is dangerous, it completely unmasks. And for one you can give 3 crew members, or even the entire RDG. MI-8 could not be found everywhere, the dimensions are all the same. The helicopter pilots took risks all along the route, it happened that the "crocodiles" overlooked, the eight would get it, they left back. They sent a new one, or said to change the place. It was different ... So that the drone is combat, that the transport-evacuation - the same advantages in comparison with manned vehicles. Isn't it visible? They quickly bring everything to mind. It is only here, perhaps, that the generals are preparing for the last war, and for them - for the future.

Funny coffin. It just doesn't seem viable. Will be shot down on landing / takeoff, if it is close to the "front end".

Do not think about a great war, there will not be one. The main lovers of unleashing wars are very scared to get a nuclear baton on the head. they will shit quietly, on a small scale, at the regional level, but inside us they will decompose, the specialists are great. And as for disguise - believe me, I have an attitude - there is concealment, there is imitation, there is disinformation, there are many ways to deceive everyone and everything. And then there is electronic warfare)) But it's better to substitute a drone than a turntable with men ..

[alcor]

Just like that, in pursuit: The easiest way to deceive bandits in the mountains about the location of the RDG - the turntable did up to 10 drops, like it sat at the RDG, and the bandyuk had a wide choice of where to run first, to check what was thrown out or taken there. But you must admit that in the mountains at any moment and on a false landing you can run into problems, and it seems that there is no one except a shepherd with a machine gun.

I, comrade, have the impression that 99% of the posts are the same as above due to the fact that this is an AMERICAN DRIVER. This means a priori an easy-to-knock "coffin" intended exclusively for cutting. If you create the same drone company Kamov or Mila, it would be a device that has no analogues in the world.

Tennis ball? For example, in the Caucasus mountains or similar in other regions of the world? Or in the jungle? Probably there are air defense systems capable of detecting a ball in a dime a dozen ...
Vaughn on specially modernized Black Hawks, the Americans were able to land at the villa where their famous enemy was. And here the product is 4-5 meters in size, probably with the use of composites and other tricks ...

The car is really interesting. And if it can be adapted for transporting the wounded, this is a chance for them not to go into the category of "two hundredths." And the cost. A single vehicle - can be significant, but not higher than the cost of a manned airborne transport helicopter. Even if he can make 2-3 flights, bringing ammunition to the group and evacuating the wounded man, this is already a benefit. Even if during the transportation of ammunition it will be shot down, the "machine gun" will be shot down, and not a manned vehicle with a much higher cost and crew

For some reason, only this topic is being dealt with by the United States and Israel, which, as all true jingoistic patriots have long known, are only engaged in sawing and rolling back.

It is not created, but it is. If I am not mistaken, there was news of a similar thing in the Russian army and the comments were completely different.

And so the epidemic "We are D * artanyans, and they (you know who) yourself" is still walking on the VO. But unfortunately, their probable rivals are not at all, not mummers and not those who (as they laugh here) "do not go into battle without paper."

[chidoryan]

It seems to me that such a device would be expensive to shoot down with some kind of expensive complexes, that is, to shoot down a large helicopter and bury a bunch of wounded and pilots would be economically justified, but to shoot down such a drone. and even with one wounded soldier - what's the point? Especially if there are a lot of such troughs.

They also write that this is still in question. First, they will check the intensity and frequency of vibration, noise level, temperature, atmospheric pressure, acceleration and maneuvering parameters of the aircraft, and then they will see whether this drone is suitable for transporting a wounded person or not.

If there are only two options, leave him to die on the front line or send him to the doctors in the rear, I think they will choose the second, despite all the vibrations and accelerations there.
