The agency reported that the project aims to find joint effective solutions by Ukraine and NATO for frontline medical care, taking into account the realities of modern warfare. In particular, ensuring prolonged field assistance and evacuation of the wounded within an 8-kilometer kill zone, where enemy reconnaissance is constantly active, and drone and artillery strikes complicate evacuation.
Key areas for development are: practical concepts, systems or integrated architectures for medical stabilization, concealment of movements, communication and evacuation of the wounded in difficult combat conditions
Defense companies and universities from Ukraine and NATO countries can apply to participate in the project.
It is noted that the winners will be able to cooperate with the Alliance and receive support for implementing their solutions in practice.
