6月9日，一架美军阿帕奇武装直升机在霍尔木兹海峡附近被伊朗击落，从而实现了历史上首次海上无人机救援。一艘无人驾驶水面艇（USV）在坠机发生后两小时内成功营救了这两名机组人员，标志着机器人伤员后送技术的一个里程碑。

这场机器人革命也在陆地上展开，乌克兰的医疗营在4月份的24小时内完成了6次无人化后送，利用无人地面车辆（UGV）在单日内营救了21名受伤士兵。然而，此类军事应用此前曾受到限制，美国陆军在2006年、2009年和2013年的备忘录中均认为无人值守的后送平台是不可接受的。

尽管无人化后送降低了人员风险并弥补了直升机易受攻击的缺陷，但它在远程探测方面面临挑战，且需要伤员忍受颠簸的运输过程。尽管存在这些局限性，但最近的部署（例如美军中央司令部在2023年对Martac T-38无人艇进行的测试）展示了自主救援系统日益增长的可行性。

On June 9th, an American Apache attack helicopter was shot down by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, leading to the first-ever drone rescue at sea. An uncrewed surface vessel (USV) successfully recovered the two crew members within two hours of the crash, marking a milestone in robotic casualty evacuation.

This robotic revolution is also expanding on land, where Ukraine's medical battalions used unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to rescue 21 wounded soldiers in a single day, completing six evacuations within 24 hours in April. However, such military applications were previously restricted, as US Army memos in 2006, 2009, and 2013 had deemed unattended evacuation platforms unacceptable.

While robotic evacuation reduces human risk and counters vulnerable helicopter operations, it poses challenges in remote detection and requires casualties to endure rough transport. Despite these limitations, recent deployments like CENTCOM's 2023 tests with the Martac T-38 drone demonstrate the growing viability of autonomous rescue systems.
