Problems and Alternatives in the Combat Rescue of Navy Aircrewmen
Abstract
This report examines specific problems that affect the rescue of naval aviators downed under combat conditions. It discusses the pros and cons of alternative rescue systems such as air-to-air, flyaway, ground-to-air, etc. The subsystems of an air-to-air rescue system are evaluated as to operational practicability. The air-to-air system is modeled for potential effectiveness utilizing the actual ejection and survival data of the Navy aircrewmen who ejected and became prisoners of war.
