Tactical Robotics demos Cormorant UAS to IDF
Tactical Robotics has demonstrated its Cormorant multirole UAS to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the company announced on 22 May.
During the demonstration, which took place at Megiddo Airfield in the Galilee, the company also presented Cormorant’s capability to be the first UAS system fielded for unmanned casualty evacuation missions.
The demonstration consisted of taking off with a load of cargo, preforming a pre-planned flight to a specified point of delivery, offloading the cargo and loading of a specialised, medical training manikin simulating a casualty which was then returned to the point of origin.
A monitor supplied by the IDF transmitted vital information to the crews on the ground, in addition to a video camera for two-way communication with the patient. With the exception of the loading of the casualty and off-loading of cargo, the full simulated mission was performed autonomously.
