Robotic, Semi-Autonomous and Autonomous Medical Systems: Where Will the Solider-Medic Fit in the Future Fight?
Amber S. Linde and David M. Thompson
Introduction
The Medical Simulation and Information Research Program (MSISRP) is actively investigating the state of the science and the state of the market regarding the use of medical robotic, semi-autonomous, and autonomous battlefield medical systems and technologies on the future front. In order for these future technologies to be useful, they must possess capabilities that can operate in real-time to either directly assist the medical provider or perform as the medical provider in order to deliver the correct medical interventions to the casualty at the time they are needed. Such a collaboration of human/machine interfacing will result in the success of the medical mission at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war.
