    This lot wear green Jack US Army predicts shift to nearly all unmanned aircraft by 2035 Would it not be a good plan to develop some sort of common language or protocol so that search and rescue robots could easily talk to each other?

    Otherwise I see lots of agencies turning up with different tools all needing different GCS and operators.

    I would have thought it would be a plan to have ground and air vehicles of whatever make and model sending unified data back to a central point.

    Good luck to them anyway.
  • @Jack - not sure I understand the question...but this has nothing to do with the Air Force. Needs some green tech themes?

    Anyway, this program has been ongoing for some time, but has been a bit under the radar (no pun intended.) This is just a new website they have put together to share the program with the general public. If you look at the following link:

    http://www.teex.org/teex.cfm?pageid=USARprog&area=usar&temp...

    You will find that the Texas Engineering Extension Service has partnered with the Texas A&M University System (Gig 'em Ags! - Class of '93) and built an amazing facility for training SAR personnel. If there is a new technology that could help save lives, these people will be on the cutting edge trying to use, improve, and develop it.
