Helicopter Mobile Crewman Summer Survival System.

Abstract

The system is designed to provide the Mobile Crewman with the necessary survival capabilities to cover a wide range of emergencies when escaping from a downed helicopter. It is designed to provide flotation and lift capability and the use of survival items. This system is designed to be worn when anti-exposure equipment is not required and to interface with, and be used with the Back Pack Mini-Raft. The location of survival equipment away from the subject's frontal area in holster or chaps type containers, is a unique characteristic. The system's survival items consist of: 1 PRC-90 Radio; 2 MK-13 Mod 0 Day/Night Flares; 1 Dye Marker; 1 Small Signal Mirror; 1 Pen Gun Kit; 1 Whistle; 1 Strobe Light; 1 Steady Burn Light; 1 four ounce Water Bottle, and a Utility Knife.
