Historic First: Unmanned Surface Vessel Rescues Apache Helicopter Crew, Marking New Era for Search and Rescue
A U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter made a forced landing near the coast of Oman, leaving two crew members in peril. Within two hours, the Saronic Corsair unmanned surface vessel (USV), operated by U.S. Naval Forces Central Command's Task Force 59, successfully rescued both crew members — marking the first-ever personnel rescue mission conducted by an unmanned vehicle in a real military operation.
