Airborne Tactical Extraction Platform (AirTep) (United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM))
Abstract
Airborne Tactical Extraction Platform (AirTep) validates a helicopter extraction platform that is capable of extracting up to ten people rapidly, simultaneously, from locations where rotorcraft cannot safely land. Current capability is limited to three individuals. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in the project are a more efficient rotary wing extraction system that accommodates up to 3,306 pounds of personnel and equipment and to avoid Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) costs worth almost $3.000 million.
