A US drone boat conducted a first-of-its-kind rescue mission to save the crew of an American Apache helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, the military said.
The 24-foot Saronic Corsair autonomous surface vessel, powered by artificial intelligence, located the crew who had been stuck for two hours in the waters off the coast of Oman, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The unmanned autonomous vessel, capable of carrying 1,000 pounds and reaching speeds of about 40 mph, quickly transported the pilots to a safe location in the waters, where they were hoisted up by a rescue chopper, officials said.
Saw it reported on nightly news. Amazing

It looks just like any other boat too. Pretty neat.

Shouldn't there have been rescue squads on standby ready to immediately respond in case of a shoot down? Instead you have a rescue drone? How long did it take to get there? Two hours? This whole event seems suspicious to me.
