SkyFall 发布 StarGate 医疗后送无人机
基辅防务科技公司 SkyFall 向媒体演示了其 StarGate 空中医疗后送无人机，该机在演示中升空，用悬挂在机腹下方的封闭吊舱运送一名人员。SkyFall 称，StarGate 最大载荷 150 公斤，单程航程 15 公里，巡航速度 65 公里/小时、最高 105 公里/小时，约 10 分钟即可部署，基础价格 5 万美元。该机配备反无人机网和电子干扰等对抗手段；据 SkyFall 发言人介绍，它还具备若干 AI 功能，在 GPS 被拒止或信号遭欺骗、干扰时可完全自主飞行，但通常由远程操作员操控。公司称这一构想源自第 475 独立突击团一名指挥官对更安全后送方式的需求，并计划到 2026 年底达到每月约 1000 架的产能。
SkyFall 表示，StarGate 有望把战场后送时间从数小时甚至数天缩短到几分钟，并让救援人员远离危险，其自主能力意在 GPS 受干扰时仍能飞行。

Ukrainian military personnel could soon be lifted off the battlefield by drone. Kyiv-based technology company SkyFall invited press to see its StarGate drone in action, demonstrating the carrying of a person suspended under the chassis.
A StarGate craft can carry a payload of up to 150 kilograms (330 pounds), enabling a single ground operative in body armor and with combat equipment to be rescued. The aerial medical evacuation drone can be deployed in about around 10 minutes and is equipped with anti-drone nets and other countermeasures.
Capable of a 15 kilometers range, the StarGate can travel at speeds of up to 65mph, and each craft has a basic price of $50,000, with various configurations available.
Automated evacuation
Unveiled to with a press demonstration, the StarGate was seen lifting off carrying a human in the enclosed pod underneath the craft. It has a 65 km/h (40 mph) cruise speed and can reach speeds of up to 105 km/h (65 mph), although its 15 km range does mean it needs to operate within a relatively small area.
