The US Department of Defense reported on the testing of new equipment to facilitate the conduct of hostilities. Among other things, the drone DP14 stands out. In form, it is similar to a transport helicopter, but on a significantly smaller scale. Equipped with two rotors and a fairly spacious cargo hold. It can accommodate the wounded in the supine position.
Loading capacity of DP14 makes 200 kg. Its dimensions are 200 × 50 centimeters. Unmanned drone-medical can be in the air up to 2 hours and reach speeds of up to 130 km / h.
The drone will be oriented in space with the help of a navigation system, lasers, and artificial intelligence plotting a route based on the data obtained. This set of tools will allow you to use it in different weather conditions (sandstorm, rain and the like).
The device can take off and land anywhere. He does not need a special landing site, so the possibilities for application are very versatile. He will be able to take out the wounded in various conditions, including extreme ones.
The leadership of the US Armed Forces is very interested in such developments, but so far has no plans to use this drone regularly. Prior to this, it was mentioned that the army tested hoverbikek intended for delivering ammunition and food to servicemen in the field.
