Unmanned vehicles and aircraft to transport casualties? I find that concerning. Even if they're stabalized, you can have something go wrong and they're in the middle of a long range transport? Seems kinda heartless to me. I don't know but it really rubs me wrong. Let me give you an example. The Marine Corps could refurbish AAVs and make them unmanned CASEVAC vehicles. You could stack 8 maybe 10 stretchers in one? But I contend that you should still send a Corpsman with them. I would like to see this drone used for rescue of aircrew at sea (but that would only work with fighters). How you're gonna handle a '53 or '130 with a shit load of Marines going down in the ocean is still beyond me (unless we get off our ass and dedicate a Navy squadron with the Japanese seaplane as long range rescue) but while it has applications, I just feel uneasy about the above concept.Army Warfighting Experiment has been taking place in Portsmouth testing out potential new kit and trialling the use of current equipment in new ways. Here a Malloy T400 drone is carrying a dummy casualty - could this be the future? @ForcesNews @BritishArmy pic.twitter.com/L8fXS195Yx
