Airborne Tactical Extraction Platform (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
Test an extraction platform that is capable of extracting up to ten people rapidly, from locations where rotorcraft cannot safely land. Existing airborne extraction systems are only capable of removing three individuals at a time. The primary outputs are a rotary wing extraction system that can accommodate up to 3,306 pounds of equipment and operators, allow operators to engage the enemy during extraction, and is simple to use. Fielding reduction is greater than seven years.
