What is the sea drone that rescued US helicopter crew?
WASHINGTON, June 9 - A U.S. Navy drone rescued two Army helicopter crew members after their helicopter was shot down in the Middle East, in what was believed to be the first known U.S. use of an unmanned military vessel to recover personnel at sea.
A U.S. Navy autonomous surface vessel, identified as a Saronic Corsair, successfully rescued two Army helicopter crew members after their aircraft was shot down in the Middle East. This marks a significant milestone, believed to be the first instance of an unmanned military vessel being used for personnel recovery at sea by the U.S. The drone is part of the Navy's Task Force 59, established to integrate unmanned systems into naval operations, and represents a broader Pentagon strategy to increase reliance on autonomous technology.
This event demonstrates the growing capabilities and practical applications of unmanned maritime systems in critical rescue operations, highlighting their potential to reduce risk to human personnel.
