Air & Space Austere Environment Patient Care and Transport (AF)

Abstract

This project advances combat casualty care in the air through biomedical research into interventional strategies and technologies that mitigate the risks for additional insult due to aeromedical evacuation. It transitions promising Science and Technology (S&T) from PE 0602115DHA’s Project Code 306D - Advanced Diagnostics & Therapeutics Research & Development - Medical and Operational Biosciences (AF), and civilian groups into knowledge and materiel products that promote the recovery and return to duty of injured or ill service members, from point of injury back to definitive care. This project aligns to the Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) Medical Modernization Priorities to support Aeromedical Evacuation and En Route Care (AE/ERC). Research within this program includes but is not limited to: ground medical operations in agile combat employment, autonomous care of patient movement, and optimization of patient movement.
