Unmanned aerial system (uas) with vision algorithm package for medical situation awareness

A system for providing medical situational awareness in a hazardous area, comprising:

• an unmanned aerial system (UAS) comprising:
• a housing,
• at least one electro-optical (EO) sensor carried by the housing and configured for viewing the hazardous area to provide EO sensor data,
• a processor carried by the housing and coupled to the at least one EO sensor, and configured to execute a vision algorithm package based on the EO sensor data to locate and analyze casualty victims within the hazardous area, with the vision algorithm package comprising
• casualty detection algorithms for casualty detection and identification,
• casualty assessment algorithms for casualty respiration rate detection, pulse rate detection and motion detection, and
• gross injury detection algorithms for casualty wound and hemorrhage detection, and kinematic irregularity detection,
• a transceiver carried by the housing and coupled to the processor and configured to receive control signals and to transmit live casualty information as determined by the vision algorithm package;
• and
• a UAS controller for providing the control signals to the UAS for control thereof, and comprising a display to display operator data for the UAS and the live casualty information received from the transceiver to provide the medical situation awareness for the hazardous area.
