Two U.S. Army pilots were pulled from the water after their Apache helicopter went down near the Strait of Hormuz — and the rescue came from a completely unmanned vessel.
An autonomous drone boat built by Austin-based defense company Saronic carried out what is believed to be the first publicly known U.S. military rescue mission involving an unmanned vessel.
The Corsair operates without onboard personnel and can be designed to carry out a mission without constant remote control, allowing crews to respond in dangerous environments without putting additional service members at risk, @Brooketaylortv reports. | @AmericaNewsroom
