Only sorta related, but what the hey?

After watching the recent "Nova" on drones and drone technology, it seems pretty clear that this is where S&R is headed--probably first as an adjunct to footbound personnel but someday...who knows? It's worth noting they're working on an autonomous rescue heli for the Coast Guard. Now, automagically locating a victim and landing on water is a whole lot simpler than doing so in the mountains, but the potential seems limitless.
