The Land Rover Discovery Project Hero has been unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show and aims to deliver effective results for those in the search and rescue field.
Designed by the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations Unit, the vehicle is hoped to be an effective set of solutions to aid the Red Cross when it comes to expediting response times during disaster relief.
The Land Rover Discovery Project Hero is outfitted with a drone that is mounted on the roof, which can be used to scan the surrounding area and better situate where help is required. The drone is also able of landing on the top of the vehicle when it is in motion, which comes as a world-first for the capability.
