The US Army tested drones to deliver medical supplies during dangerous battlefield scenarios to wounded warriors.
During a recent training exercise in California led by the US with militaries of other nations, drones dropped simulated blood and other crucial medical supplies to soldiers as part of Project Crimson. This type of technology would be deployed in circumstances where it wouldn't be safe to send people on foot for help.
The drone is a vertical landing and take-off aircraft, so it does not need a runway or catapult launch to perform this life-saving missions, according to the Army.
That feature allows soldiers to preserve life in the early phase immediately after an injury and help to facilitate transportation to an Army hospital.

'Project Crimson is a project to take a common unmanned air system and adapt it to support a medical mission,' said Nathan Fisher, Medical Robotics and Autonomous Systems division chief at the U.S. Army’s Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center, in a statement.
'This drone supports medical field care when casualty evacuation isn’t an option. It can keep whole blood and other crucial items refrigerated in the autonomous portable refrigeration unit and take it to medics in the field with wounded warriors.'
