The latest in rescue technology from Air Rescue Systems, the new Patent Pending Air Rescue Extraction System or ARES was created out of the need for a lightweight, safe, intuitive and multi-purpose victim extraction device. The system’s modular design helps increase the speed and ease of patient packaging during helicopter rescue operations. Integrated into the ARES is the Stabilization Lift System flight bar designed to simplify adjusting the bag position into two easy attachment options and increase the lift support angle to reduce tension on the head and foot of the victim. System includes basic spine board for increasing patient comfort during “bag-only” flights. Optional carbon fiber Integrated Immobilization System provides full spinal immobilization during packaging and transport.

This personnel carrying device system is to be used for the following helicopter operations:

• Short-Haul – Human External Cargo (HEC)
• Hoist / Winch Operations
