Concept Evaluation of the UH-60 Externally Mounted Rescue Hoist.

Abstract

The concept evaluation of an Externally Mounted Rescue Hoist (EMRH) was performed with the Breeze Eastern EMRH installed on a U.S. Army UH-60 helicopter. A comparative analysis was conducted between the EMRH and the Internally Mounted Rescue Hoist (IMRH) which assessed initial inspection, physical characteristics, installation, and compatibility with the aircraft, performance, and safety. The EMRH showed a significant improvement over the IMRH currently used in U.S. Army MEDEVAC aircraft.
