US made bird-like UAVs for rescue operations
The United States is working to build a new generation of bird-like unmanned aerial vehicles capable of maneuvering in buildings to aid hostage-saving operations.

Within the framework of the FLA, the Pentagon's Modern Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is investigating a non-traditional drones that can flying at a speed of 20m / sec in dense urban environments.
The new UAV model is being developed by DARPA to support the rescue operation
Accordingly, DARPA is planning to analyze insect and bird flight characteristics, such as flight characteristics of the birds, and simulate them in unmanned aerial vehicles, thereby enhancing agility and their versatility.
In addition, DARPA plans to program its unmanned aerial planes with a different approach to using GPS. This old system is very prone to blockage and, moreover, needs immediate response from the pilot if the unmanned aircraft encounters an obstacle. In contrast, these unmanned aircraft will be able to make immediate and unpredictable decisions.
This new drone will support military groups, mainly in urban areas, in tasks such as hostage rescue, as they can "quickly locate a system of rooms and bridges. ladders and corridors or other challenging environments, " DARPA said in a statement.
This can greatly reduce the risk for subterranean units. The unmanned aerial vehicle will be designed to fly at speeds up to 20m / s, with a range of about 1,000m, and operate in about 10 minutes.
In addition, unmanned aerial vehicles that the US military is researching can assist rescue workers in search, rescue and disaster relief operations.
