hostilE CLIM8 [composite modular rescue litter system]

EVOLVE YOUR CAPABILITIES
WORLDWIDE MISSION COMPLEXITIES EXCEED THE DESIGN CAPABILITIES OF THE ENDURING STOKES RESCUE LITTER
The current mainstay litter / stretcher rescue basket system is a variation of a 1940's design that has served the community well but is no longer capable of meeting the complexities of modern warfare or challenges of urban civil rescues. Certainly it is a very viable tool for most jobs but the time has come for modern technology to replace it.

M² (mission modules) under current development:

--) ski-patrol :: pull handle / suspension / skis / eXc enviro-pack option.
--) H2Oo :: open-water :: basket mod & hoist hookup arms.
--) H2Os :: swift-water :: directional flow stability & rock bumper collar.
--) hA :: high-angle :: rock bumper & mini pneumatic rollers
--) heliE :: EMS-LEA :: Integrated Camera and patient data transfer system
--) heliS :: med lift SAR :: cabin configuration & integration kit // Fwd Steady.
--) heliC :: NATO CSAR :: ballistic layer and all terrain 1man drag.
--) fireRSQ :: fire retardant resins and fire shelter system.
--) combat medic :: ballistic layer / all terrain 1man drag, GPS, overt/covert LED.
--) eXh extreme hot WX :: clim8 liquid chiller system integration.
--) eXc extreme cold WX :: insulation pad with clim8 heater circuit.
--) arena/stadium :: tri-ax 1man pull stair climber.
--) SOF / SWOT :: classified customer specific
--) xGames :: steerable full off-road suspension for Xtreme Litter Luge (JFF).

QUESTION :: Why fix something that isn't broken?
ANSWER :: The STOKES rescue litter isn't broken; it's simply heavy and unwieldy because it utilizes tubing to create its core structure to which a variety of other heavy mission specific items are then haphazardly attached to form a patchwork solution. hC8's founder Andrew Butte had performed heli-borne rescues since the mid 80's and for the last decade had solicited his idea of a composite modular system to anyone that might listen and produce it (no one ever did). Always wanting to leave everything in better shape than how he found it; his retirement gift to the rescue community is the hC8 MRLS (hostileCLIM8 Modular Rescue Litter System) which will evolve rescuers capabilities.
