The Israeli company Tactical Robotics has recently demonstrated its Cormorant vertical take-off and landing UAV’s capability to carry out medical evacuation duties. The Cormorant was developed during the war in Lebanon in 2006 for transferring troops and medical equipment. Powered by a single Arriel 1D1 turboshaft engine, the UAV can be operated in remote areas, where helicopters and traditional rotorcraft cannot function properly. The Cormorant is intended for cargo transport, medical evacuation and troop supply missions. The payload bays which are being incorporated in the vehicle, will double the rescue cabin space for wounded soldiers. The Cormorant can deliver up to 1000 pounds of cargo or equipment in both commercial and emergency response scenarios.
