They beat me to it by “that much”.
I’ve been playing around with the idea of a drone being used to deliver medical supplies or escape supplies (i.e. ropes) to people trapped on mountains (or injured in inaccessible spots). It could also delivery supplies to isolated firefighters on mountains and in valleys, etc. These would be the smaller US drones now available, but the Israeli model takes this concept to a much higher and badly needed level.
Leave it up to the Israelis to be among the first to work on this approach. These guys aren’t smoking marijuana in Colorado. They are thinking fast on the frontlines of technology and human welfare.
And Obama, Hagel and Kerry dislike them because they are successful.
Don’t give up on your idea. I’m sure that a smaller and/or cheaper version would be something that emergency rescue folks might be interested in. $2.5 million for an airmule is a lot of money! It might be useful for controlling hazmat situations as well.
