Use of Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles in the Interests of Military Medicine: Current State and Prospects

Summary. The of the study is to analyze existing experience and determine the prospects for using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the interests of military medicine based on published data. Materials and research methods. The research materials were scientific articles, conference materials and other internet resources. Research methods: analytical, logical, descriptive-comparative, analogies. The results of the study and their analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the potential of these UAVs to provide medical care in dangerous and remote areas is huge, but the implementation of such a system is far from unambiguous due to unresolved problematic issues such as ensuring security, increasing survivability, and compliance with safety requirements when using UAVs. In addition, the legal regulation of ethical issues of drone use cannot be ignored. And the most important thing is the economic justification, that is the matching of the costs of developing the necessary products to the increase in efficiency during their use.
