Deep Orange 15

Rescue operators have long followed the “golden hour” guideline, aiming to provide medical care in the critical period following an injury to maximize chances of survival in natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and hurricanes.

Working with the U.S. Army and others, Clemson students are working to improve rescue response times in extreme environments, while also minimizing personnel required for individual rescue operations.

Known as Deep Orange 15, high speed, off-road, optionally piloted rescue vehicle will use advanced driverless technology and a powerful propulsion configuration to traverse off-road terrain from desert sands and boulders to urban rubble.
