The MCPs modular design permits a wide range of mission profiles. Additionally, the vehicles design optimizes a graceful evolution of capabilities as new and improved telecommunications and telehealth technologies become available. Designed from the lessons learned in previous technology-development research projects, the MCP demonstrates CERMUSAs commitment to improving the delivery of healthcare, information, and education through the application of appropriate technologies to people in rural and underserved areas. B. Robotic Emergency Medicine and Danger-Detection REMeD D In many communities, steps are being taken to reduce the risk of an attack and improve the emergency response systems ability to respond to emergencies resulting from bioterrorist actions. In an effort to improve the civilian and military response to WMD attacks in rural areas, CERMUSA is conducting a research study to evaluate the application of robotics and advanced telecommunications technologies to existing emergency management and response authorities. While urban areas remain terrorists most likely targets, the risk of a WMD attack on a rural population remains possible. As a result, the REMeD D project offers a model to follow when developing a system to prepare for and manage emergencies resulting from a terrorist attack implemented using weapons of mass destruction.
