Air Rescue Systems

The art of Precision - The quality, condition, or fact of being exact and accurate. Search and rescue operations have some of the most dangerous work environments across all industries. Our technology exists to eliminate preventable hoist operation accidents and to enhance the mission by putting precision control directly in the hands of the hoist operators. By emphasizing accuracy and reliability, we enable safer, more efficient, and effective rescue efforts, ensuring that every operation is executed with the utmost precision and care.

Children are not small adults and utilizing adult systems for pediatric helicopter rescues is unsafe. In light of this, the Advanced Pediatric Extraction Device (A.P.E.D.?) was specifically engineered as the only full support and immobilization system for pediatric helicopter extractions. The A.P.E.D.? features an internal support harness system that securely holds the child in a head-neutral position. This innovative design ensures optimal safety and stability, while also accommodating a wide range of victim weights through its fully adjustable mechanism.

In critical moments, you need a rescue device that is both effective and user-friendly. The Pelican? stands out as the perfect solution, requiring less than 30 seconds to secure the patient and initiate the rescue operation. While this innovative tool excels in various scenarios, it was specifically designed for swift and open-water extractions. Unlike alternative devices, the Pelican? not only eliminates the risk of losing the victim during extraction but also reduces the physical and psychological strain on both the rescuer and the rescued.

Ever wondered how power line maintenance gets done when there's no support structure in sight? Linemen often find themselves suspended in mid-air by a helicopter, battling downwash while tackling a challenging task. That's where we step in. The Air Reach Seat? provides a stable, ergonomic seating platform, enabling linemen to work comfortably for extended periods without putting undue strain on their bodies. By revolutionizing power line maintenance, this solution ensures a safer and more efficient work environment for linemen and pilots alike.

As the season changes and temperatures begin to drop, it's important to ensure your safety harness is properly adjusted and inspected for use with winter gear. To maintain optimal performance and safety, follow these essential harness inspection guidelines: 1. Examine load-bearing stitching for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. 2. Check all molle connections and attachments to verify their integrity and secure connection to the harness. 3. Test individual buckles for smooth operation, ensuring they are free from dirt buildup. Clean, dry, and service buckles according to the operator's manual. 4. Extend all straps to their maximum length and thoroughly inspect for any discrepancies or damage. Straps that remain rolled up may develop "memory," causing potential damage to go unnoticed, so it is crucial to examine them in their extended state. Prioritize your safety this winter season by taking the time to properly inspect and adjust your harness. It is time to retire your old harness? ?? https://bit.ly/3Tf9OYC #safety #gear #SAR #helicopter #helicopterSAR #rescue #mission #innovation #technology #equipment Charley Shimanski Matt Christensen Cody Berg

Here's a great video example of a Left Descending Hoist profile where ARS instructors use gravity and rotor flow projection to maintain a plumb load. Descending profiles are one of many taught by our ARS instructors during our Fluid-Dynamic Hoist? training.
