The design of an inoffensive sUAS for medical applications

In the last few years, Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) are increasingly employed both in civil applications and in military missions. SUAS are strategic in case of natural hazardous events, such as earthquakes, landslides, floods and avalanches due to their capability to perform Duty, Duly, Dirty and Dangerous missions. The management of an emergency and the coordination capability are key points to be developed by the Army and the National Emergency Service. For these reasons, joined exercises should be played before emergencies to training and to improve these aspects. Even if the emergency is set in a critical scenario, the safety of the population and operators on the ground should be taken into account. As a matter of fact, different national and international regulations have been published to achieve the aim of safe and inoffensive sUAS, although some discrepancies are still presented according to the country and the safety agency at issue. Safety requirements define the final configuration in terms of structures, materials, weight and dimensions, such as the radius of curvature.
