ABOUT US

IMG_9271.jpg

IMG_5999.JPG

Air Rescue Systems (ARS), an American founded Corporation, was formed in February 2007. ARS incorporated after fifteen years as a division of Brim Aviation. Our highly trained pilots and rescue crew-members carried out missions for a wide range of clients and provided training to number of government agencies and other specialists from across America.The founders of ARS believed that the market for specialized training and equipment in the world of helicopter borne operations was being poorly met. Too often equipment seemed to be pulled together in an arbitrary and unsafe way jeopardizing both the mission and the lives of those using the gear. At the same time, training lacked standardization.RESPONSE:ARS carries out operations on behalf of clients across a wide range of mission profiles. We operate for both public and private agencies on varying projects. We always provide the best equipment, training and response to meet the needs of today’s ever changing environment.TRAINING:Air Rescue Systems believes safety first, every mission, every time and because of this, training is the foundation for all aspects of our response program. This fundamental belief that quality, agency specific training, makes or breaks the organizations abilities to carry out safe, effective operations is at the core of all course offerings.ARS is uniquely situated to provide unparalleled FAA 14 CFR Part 141 approved and certified course design, development and delivery to our customers across a broad range of mission profiles.
First, we start with our experience, the Air Rescue Systems training team is made up of experienced pilots and rescue crew members from diverse back grounds in flying, law enforcement, technical rescue, rescue medicine and tactical response. Our instructor cadre is made up of “active duty” response personnel, “not retired from” or “use to be”, but current technicians performing a wide range of missions and flight profiles. This approach allows ARS instructors to maintain cutting edge skills. We provide training in a multitude of challenging environments with multiple agencies from many different disciplines; police, fire, industry, local/state and federal agencies as well.Secondly, our approach to training is based on “step proficiency”, a crawl, walk, run concept that builds strength through training in basic concepts, mastery of required skills, progressing to the next course only when the student has the confidence and ability.Finally, ARS training is agency oriented with design and development based on current and projected organizational needs. Detailed consultation is undertaken with the agency prior to course offerings being prepared. The goal of each and every ARS training course is encompassed around the success of our students and the future growth of the individual agencies capabilities.ARS training curriculum is FAA 14 CFR Part 141 certified.EQUIPMENT:ARS has developed the first standardized approach to helicopter insertion/extraction and rescue equipment. Three years ago ARS set out to design the best components and create a standardized system offered at an affordable price. This meant redesigning the equipment we use on every mission including hard and software, analyzing different mission profiles and blending function with ease of use and safety. A rigorous ‘test to fail” process followed because we know, as you do, that lives depend on the equipment we sell. If we don’t trust it, then why would you. ARS has tested and used every single piece of gear that we sell. The result is the very best helicopter rescue and insertion/extraction systems available anywhere in the world.CUSTOMERS:ARS customers include the US Department of Interior, US National Parks, US Department of Agriculture, US Forest Service, International Police and Rescue Agencies, Power Industry Aviation Providers, and State and Local Fire and Law Enforcement Agencies.

lbs

LINE BALLAST SYSTEM (LBS)

The LBS weighs 12.5 lbs. The tapered contour of the LBS reduces “hang-ups” in trees, brush, snags and crags. During insertion/extraction the risk of a “free swinging” weight bag striking a rescuer is dramatically reduce. Flight test at 60-70 knots have proven the LBS keeps an unloaded 100’ line trailing safely downward from the tail rotor. The LBS is a modular system and is designed to be “stacked” up to 50 lbs by utilizing the link system.

laro

L.A.R.O. PARACHUTE SYSTEM

Low Altitude Rapid Opening (LARO) Parachute system. A complete system that works…without having to be 500’ AGL. There’s no reason to use a parachute system for short haul if it won’t perform in real world operations. ARS has the solution.The L.A.R.O. works at 200’ AGL with a 600lb load. We’ve dropped tested the LARO over and over again at low altitude with loads from 100 lbs to 600 lbs. Each time the L.A.R.O. performed bringing a margin of safety to short haul that is unprecedented and until now has been the key missing component in what we do.The L.A.R.O is available now and whether or not your using the ARS system, there’s no reason not to incorporate the new standard in Short Haul emergency safety into your program.
