Medical Capabilities to Support Dispersed Ops

Abstract

This Project line will support the following three new medical task areas: 1) Autonomous and Unmanned medical capability - will focus on developing the ability to use platforms to perform evacuations and deliver emergency resupply of Class VIII medical supplies, such as blood products, by ground or air, 2) Virtual Health - will enable prolonged care and deciding faster by exploiting emerging communications and information technology for remote telemonitoring and telementoring, 3) Medical Aspects of man- machine teaming - will enable teaming to deliver medical care, and establish medical performance criteria to ensure Soldiers have the physiological, cognitive, and psychological capacity to perform man-machine teaming. Promising work in this Project will be further matured in PE 0603002A (Medical Advanced Technology) / Project MM7 (Enabling Med Cap to Support Dispersed OPS Adv Tech). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Medical Research Materiel Command (USAMRMC), Fort Detrick, MD.
