Achieving this technological feat in just three months, Avilus emphasizes the RAS-PECC’s role in enhancing the efficiency and safety of medical evacuation operations. Equipped with an air-conditioned FM 2 shelter, the MAN HX60 vehicle, outfitted with specialized military equipment, serves as the backbone for the ground control segment. This segment houses advanced technical systems, including redundant remote pilot stations and a comprehensive antenna segment for robust communication capabilities.
The RAS-PECC’s innovative design allows for both line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) radio connections, facilitating critical communication between the control room and the rescue drones. This feature enables the transmission of a patient’s vital parameters and, if needed, the establishment of a video connection for psychological support during the evacuation process. The integration with existing battle management systems for flight planning, dispatch, and monitoring underscores the device’s emphasis on airspace integration and mission digitalization.
Notably, the RAS-PECC has been made available ahead of schedule, a testament to the dynamic and agile support from Avilus and IFAS’s partners. This innovative system is already being utilized in military exercises and regular flight test operations, demonstrating its versatility and potential to revolutionize military medical evacuation protocols.
