Aeromedical Readiness

Abstract

This program provides key capabilities that provide life-saving and/or quality of life technologies and equipment. Aeromedical Readiness program enables the critical care of combat casualties by further developing and optimizing existing technologies for ground Expeditionary Medical Systems (EMEDS) and Aeromedical evacuation systems. EMEDS and Aeromedical Evacuation systems provide the urgent care needed to treat deployed injured warfighters and return them to duty while in country, and to treat combat casualties that need to be safely transported to a stateside hospital for follow on treatment. The program also supports critical capabilities development in the multi-disciplinary areas for light-weight, durable, and rapidly deployable medical equipment to ensure the Air Force is poised to meet future medical readiness and operational requirements. Additionally, the program supports research efforts to optimize human physiologic and cognitive performance.
