For drone delivery to make sense, with existing capabilities of drones, the cargo needs to be relatively light, it needs to have tremendous value, and it needs to urgently travel the last mile by air. This is why, to the extent we\u2019ve seen drones used for delivery in the wild, it\u2019s more likely as a means to carry contraband into a prison than it is a practical alternative to the postal service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s one other cargo that fits the description, and that\u2019s blood itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, the Pentagon\u2019s stand-up Silicon Valley-focused acquisition house, is looking for a drone that can carry a modest cargo of blood, through the dark of night toward where it\u2019s most needed. Call it \u201cDronesferatu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From FCW<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Getting the right blood to the right people as fast as possible means saving lives. To that end, DARPA\u2019s funded research into metabolic rate reduction<\/a> to see if there\u2019s a way to make people bleed out more slowly, or into using female hormones to similarly prolong the survivable time without transfusion<\/a>. In 2013, the U.S. Army conducted a study on pre-hospital transfusion for battlefield casualties<\/a> being medically evacuated in Afghanistan, and in 2012 Canadian Blood Services even tested the viability of paratroopers transporting blood<\/a> for transfusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider blood drones complementary to this field of work. Early tests by researchers at Johns Hopkins and Uganda\u2019s Makerere University proved that small vials of blood transported by drone<\/a> were just as viable as blood transported by car. Those same researchers followed up with a test of blood delivery from ship-to-shore<\/a>, for possible use in response to coastal areas<\/a> hit by natural disasters, where the roads are impassable but drones could still safely fly. The American startup Zipline demonstrated its own blood delivery drones in 2016<\/a>, and has for a year and a half worked on delivering blood by robot to parts of Rwanda<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIUx\u2019s ask, that a drone fly over 60 miles and carry 5 pounds of blood, is not far off from what Zipline\u2019s drones can already do, with the company stating a range of 100 miles and a cargo capacity of just under four pounds<\/a>. Weight and range tradeoffs are at the heart of aviation design, so it\u2019s likely that vendors have already pitched something within the bounds of the solicitation. Should that drone make a fast turnaround from ask to prototype to useful tool, the troops fighting abroad may gain a better shot at surviving otherwise-fatal blood loss. Unlikely that the reverse-vampire drones will look like bats<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
