The US Department of Defense plans to soon introduce in the division of the American army of robots of various medical devices. As the “NPlus1”, Command medical research and development of the US Army has placed a request for information about robots, which could be used for medical purposes.
According to a request, the US military will consider various proposals, which will contain information about the robots of varying degrees of autonomy. Main condition – this robot can be used in the provision of emergency medical care to soldiers and to evacuate the wounded.

Another condition – presented a robot must be able to work together with people, including follow device, driven man, and support to physicians. Medical robot must also have a set of tools for medical diagnosis.
indicated, that the use of robotic systems of different classes can greatly reduce the load on soldiers, as well as to reduce losses among the personnel. Transportation robotic platform will help accelerate the delivery of the wounded from the battlefield in clinics and hospitals.
earlier it was reported, In the United States have been tested UAV helicopter type Dragonfly Pictures DP-14 Hawk, specially developed for the delivery of ammunition and transport the wounded.
Unmanned DP-14 helicopter built by longitudinal scheme with two rotors. Under the same scheme, eg, designed by American heavy transport helicopter CH-47 Chinook. DP-14 has a mass of 408 kilograms. apparatus, equipped turboshaft engine, It can carry loads of up to 195 kilograms. In this case, the duration of the flight is 2,4 o'clock. The volume of vehicle DP-14 is the compartment 0,7 cubic meters; it can fit one person.
Dragonfly Pictures DP-14 is capable of speeds up to 105 knots (about 195 kilometers per hour and to fly at altitudes of up to 4,6 thousand meters. apparatus, As expected, able to fly completely offline.
