Aeromedical Readiness

Abstract

Aeromedical Readiness provides key aeromedical devices and life-saving capabilities and/or quality of life technologies and equipment. This 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, to include but not limited to Sterile Water for Irrigation, Multi-Channel Infusion Pump (MCIP), Antimicrobial Surface Coatings, Telemedicine and other FDA approved medical treatment devices. This program supports projects ranging from research efforts to optimize human physiologic and cognitive performance for Air Combat Command, to development of patient isolation and transportation devices for Air Mobility Command that enable aeromedical evacuation of patients suffering with highly infectious diseases.
