The concept of using drones in emergency medical services (EMS) has evolved significantly over the past decade, driven by advancements in drone technology and the growing recognition of their potential in healthcare. Initially, drones were primarily used for military operations and recreational activities.
In the late 1970s and 80s, Israel developed the Scout and the Pioneer, which represented a shift toward the lighter, glider-type model of UAV in use today. Israel pioneered the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for real-time surveillance, electronic warfare, and decoys.
The first pilotless aircraft were built during World War I. From a suggestion that A. M. Low’s expertise in early television and radio technology be used to develop a remotely controlled pilotless aircraft to attack the Zeppelins [11] [12] a remarkable succession of British drone weapons in 1917 and 1918 evolved.
Drones have served a role in transporting critical healthcare supplies such as blood, vaccines, pharmaceutical drugs, first aid equipment, and medical samples. [11] Medical deliveries have the ability to navigate remote or otherwise inaccessible areas with more rapid response time in emergencies compared to ambulances. [ 12 ]
This was the first time that tactical UAVs that could be launched and landed on any short runway (unlike the heavier jet-based UAVs) were developed and tested in battle. [57] In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel used UAVs as decoys to spur opposing forces into wasting expensive anti-aircraft missiles. [58]
The Soviet Red Army used remotely-controlled teletanks during the 1930s in the Winter War and early stage of World War II. There were also remotely-controlled cutters and experimental remotely-controlled planes in the Red Army. Remote-control vehicles are used in law enforcement and military engagements for some of the same reasons.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says AI drones are the future of warfare but that human operators will need to ensure they don't go haywire. Schmidt was Google's CEO from 2001 to 2011.
From an early age, he had an innate passion for aeronautics, and at the age of 14, he started building model aircraft. Karem is regarded as the founding father of UAV (drone) technology. He graduated as an aeronautical engineer from the Technion. He built his first drone during the Yom Kippur War for the Israeli Air Force.
