Research abstract
Triton identified a feasible system-of-systems approach that can provide secure emergency “just-in-time” delivery and recovery of whole blood products to and from medical personnel at remote and austere locations via Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). This approach leverages existing (high-TRL) and developing (mid-TRL) technologies to provide the many capabilities needed to enable long range delivery to medics in complex and difficult to reach locations in all weather conditions and subject to hostile action. This UAS supports Prolonged Field Care when immediate evacuation is not feasible during Multi-Domain Operations when air superiority is not assured, and operational units may be greatly separated from support bases. Capabilities include 600-1000 miles round trip delivery, the ability to deliver, recover, and track payloads far beyond line of sight, secure packaging for blood components, autonomous vertical take-off and landing, autonomous navigation, secure command, control & communications, and all-weather operation.
