Military, Coastguard and Civilian Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopters are tasked with the recovery of survivors and casualties from the sea and other difficult or inaccessible locations. To support this requirement Airborne Systems developed a range of helicopter rescue harnesses to lower the SAR crewman to survivors. These have been in service with the UK Royal Navy and RAF as well as many international search and rescue entities worldwide.

TRUSTED AND RELIABLE

The helicopter rescue harness Mk 4 is fitted to the crewman and connected to the helicopter winch cable hook. It can be supplied in configurations to suit specific helicopter types and operating procedures. The helicopter rescue harness Mk 4 is normally used in conjunction with the Helicopter Rescue Strop.
