Downed-Aviator MedEx

3 Jet Suit Pilots deploying from ground vehicle to rapidly launch, fly over any terrain or ground obstacles such as water, mud, wire, trenches, mines or drone countermeasures.
Locate the downed pilot casualty, deliver critical care to stabilise breathing / blood flow / pain management, and do so with close protection team securing the ground for the Medic to work.
Extracting the now-stabilised casualty can be via Helo / ground vehicle or even in the future via heavy lift drone. In this exercise the ground vehicle is shown being signalled to approach and exfiltrate the casualty escorted by the protection team.

This was an exercise conducted for an undisclosed allied SOF medic organisation.

BACKGROUND
With a rich family history in Aviation, former Oil Trader & Royal Marines Reservist, Richard Browning, founded pioneering Aeronautical Innovation company, Gravity Industries in March 2017 to launch human flight into an entirely new era.

The Gravity #JetSuit uses over 1000bhp of Jet Engine power combined with natural human balance to deliver the most intense and enthralling spectacle, often likened to the real life Ironman.

Gravity has to date been experienced by over a billion people globally and covered by virtually every media platform. The Gravity Team, based in the UK, have delivered over 100 flight & Speaking events across 30 countries including 5 TED talks.

“The team and I are delivering on the vision to build Gravity into a world class aeronautical engineering business, challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation, and inspire a generation to dare ask 'what if…”

Speed is life. Keep pushing this technology.

Now you just need an automated stretcher with jets that follows you.
Maybe something like the old Mars rover landing bubbles would be good as a landing failsafe if the don't weigh too much!

[ZakLeek]

That is an awesome jet-suit-carrying car you have there! Reminds me of Ghostbusters!

[dandiesel]

Dont get me wrong, I love what these guys are doing and its a step up in terms of technology but I just dont know how practical it would be to do some of these missions when taking into account the amount of equipment needed, fast assessments of the area to make sure its a successful operation and on top of all the other tasks of equipping the suit, flying it etc. I guess time will tell when they are deployed in real situations and any problems will be analysed fully. Cool stuff.

This is Star Wars in the 21st century! I’ve watched these guys so many times and still can’t believe what I’m seeing…..totally amazing and ground breaking technology way to go guy’s, way to go!!!

I think the biggest limitation on this is carry capacity. It's truly amazing at bringing support to a casualty, but exfil for the casualty is a limitation.

One potential way to achieve that within the same "footprint" (e.g. within 1 vehicle with 4 operators) would be a heavy-lift drone (like the Griff 300) stored on the roof. Once the 3 pilots have suited up and are out searching for the exfil patient the driver can start unpacking the drone, then pilot it to deliver heavier medical equipment that can't be carried by the Gravity jet suit, AND bringing a stretcher which can be used to exfil the patient under the drone. The drone wouldn't even need to land (which might require more space than is available). The Griff 300 has a 45 minute flight time, so it could arrive, drop the equipment with a quick release, then lower a cable from a winch in preparation for a stretcher.

Obviously this could mean faster exfil, but would also allow this entire setup to be effective over untraversable terrain that you can't bring the car to. Things like over bodies of water, large rocks, even on top of buildings.

I believe in you Gravity! Keep it up! =)

[granthickey]

I don't see them militarizing this, at all.

[sickbale]

I love how they're the easiest target in an actual combat scenario, no cover, no self defence... some flying target

[WarrenNewman]

Imagine if they had thumb controls for a shoulder mounted weapon system then they wouldn't need to keep taking the hand jets on and off

[familyguy]

Main concern is that soldiers who provide "cover" here are using thier hands to steer. They would need those hands to fire the rifle or pistol but the flight system seems to require both hands.

[peterlowell]

Could you make a powerful enough Jetpack to support two people in tandem at the same time? One person to fly the other person to fire a rifle? Thoughts? Probably would be very heavy…

[jeffbustos]

Considering how much medical equipment might be needed in a critical situation, I'm thinking a drone with equal thrust power, and maybe tracking/remote control by the medic, might be in order. 😊

[michaelmueller]

How was the injured person able to walk again at the end?

Long live gravity indstriss🎇🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🎆🎆🎇🥇🏅🥇🥇🥇🎗🎗🎗

I wonder if this commercial is targeting AF PJs 🤔

Because fr, I can't see PJs using this. I want to see a PJ with full kit (plates, full ammo carrier, equipment for IVs, medical trauma kits, the stuff they bring in their bags. STRETCHERS) using these heavy ass jetpacks

I'm gonna be real with you... We have helicopters. It's much faster and more convenient for a blackhawk/ pave hawk to spot and drop people off on target and load patients than it is for these heavy jetpacks.

It's an amazing concept though, and if the technology becomes smaller/ less restrictive then I'm down! But until then, why re-invent the wheel? Especially pararescue

[gamerxxxx]

We gotta donate some of them to Palestine

[ankursinghkashyap]

These jetpacks require additional jets in hands for navigation. So both hands are occupied at all times while one is in flying mode. So arent they easy targets?

Heard of sitting ducks before. Now seeing flying ducks 😂

Dont get me wrong, this is next technology and such innovation is required, but needs much more to be implemented into military.

[mikerupe]

Ok hear me out... Larger fuel payload using an exoskeleton to assist in weight capacity for fuel and outter armor also for assisted thrust vector control ( using arms to stear as normal with the exoskeleton to stabilize) 50 cal Beowulf

Are we at mini Gundam territory yet ?

[limabravo]

Guys awesome sci fi brought to life with your product, but could you maybe tone the music down. You're demoing jet packs not prepping for the final fight between good and evil in some movie
