Independent Evaluation Plan (IEP) for UH-60A Aeromedical Evacuation Kit. Revised.

Abstract

The MEDEVAC litter kit is being developed specifically for use on the UH-60A. Early in the UTTAS conceptual phase it was determined that in addition to troop/cargo transport, the UTTAS would also be used for the aeromedical evacuation mission. As a result of a desire to improve and speed up the litter loading and unloading operations, make provisions for better inflight patient care and comfort, and to make the litter kit more survivable in the event of a crash, strict guidelines for fabrication of the MEDEVAC litter kit were placed in the UTTAS Material Need (MN) document. In addition to the requirements of the MN, the medical community was allowed to recommend several modifications/additions to the kit, which further enhance its utility. (Author)
