Robot dog to help assess battlefield casualties

The US military is looking to deploy robot dogs equipped with AI to help quickly assess battlefield wounded and save lives with speedier treatment.
They could be assisted by drones and other robotic devices.
The country’s defence research agency DARPA is currently mounting a campaign called Triage Challenge.
Triage is the process of quickly assessing patients to determine who needs medical care first — it is one of the most critical parts of responding to a mass casualty incident.
When disasters such as earthquakes, large accidents, or attacks occur, there are often far more victims than available medical responders.
In those moments, a handful of medics must make rapid decisions in chaotic, dangerous conditions.
If those early decisions are wrong, people may not receive the urgent care they need in time.
The organisation is now exploring how integrating diverse sensor data, artificial intelligence systems can provide rapid, contact-free assessments.
Teams involved have been using the Spot robot dog by US company Boston Dynamics as a battleground medic.
Equipped with specific sensors being developed by teams in the challenge they can perform rapid, contact-free medical assessments in mass-casualty incidents.

Picture MUST credit: Aurora Flight Sciences
An experimental aircraft without flaps or rudders and instead has holes in the wings is being developed.
The X-65 is designed to demonstrate a technology called active flow control, that could transform the future of aircraft design.
Aurora Flight Sciences, a subsidiary of aircraft maker Boeing, company, is building the plane, for the USA’s military research projects agency DARPA.
Active flow control , known as AFC for short, replaces traditional control mechanisms, like flaps and rudders used to control it with jets of air instead.
This new system is expected to improve aerodynamics and to reduce aircraft weight and mechanical complexity.
The fuselage, wing assemblies, and engine diffuser are being manufactured in Aurora’s West Virginia facility.
Propulsion and AFC system components are ready for integration.
The AFC system supplies pressurised air to fourteen so-called effectors embedded across all flying surfaces.
These effectors are a small, integrated system of slots, holes, or other shaped openings on the aircraft's surface,
They are designed to puff or suck air to manipulate the airflow,
The triangular wing design is modular with replaceable outboard wings and swappable AFC effectors to allow for future testing of additional designs.

Battlefield medics could one day be equipped with a virtual reality interface to survey the wounded as war rages around them.
It is the first line of what the USA’s defence research agency DRAPA is calling the Live Chain to help casualties in the first important hour of being wounded.
The virtual reality system would enable medics to identify those in most urgent need of help.
The agency says that modern fighting like that in the Ukraine has shown the need for prolonged field care solutions where rapid evacuation cannot be guaranteed.
The so-called Golden Hour is the principle that patients should reach surgery within 60 minutes for optimal outcomes.
But factors such as degraded communications, contested airspace, and advanced weaponry is likely to hinder that in the future and limit the ability to stage surgical aid close to the front lines.
In recognition DARPA says it is focusing its investment on the Live Chain which will bridge the gap between injury on the battlefield and arrival at surgical care.
The Live Chain involves combatants giving themselves self-aid or to a colleague along with medic care, en-route treatment during evacuation, and ultimately, surgical intervention.
The programme is looking to companies to do research is targeting technological breakthroughs across several key areas

Pictures must credit: DARPA The prototype of an unmanned military vessel able to patrol the seas autonomously, has been unveiled by the USA. It was developed under a programme called NOMARS which stands for No Manning Required Ship. The vessel is officially described as an unmanned surface vessel and operates under the name USX-1 Defiant. The ship is designed to operate autonomously for long durations at sea. The prototype was completed in February 2025 according to the USA’s defence research agency DARPA. Defiant is 55 m long and weighs 240-metric-tons. It will undergo extensive in-water testing, both dockside and at sea. She is scheduled to depart for a multi-month at sea demonstration this spring.

Helicopters have the advantage of vertical takeoffs and landings in rough country but speed is limited. Jets have peed but need runways. Even vertical take-off jump jets require a flat landing surface. The SPRINT project is aimed at making an aircraft that can take off, land, and hover then transition into a jet when in vertical flight.
