DEBRIEFINGS

LITTER STABILIZATION SYSTEM

NOVEMBER 14TH, 2019

This is some of the footage from testing the Litter Stabilization System. This system is designed to stabilize the litter by maintaining “magnetic” heading during deployment and retrieval. It also has a mode you can turn on if it starts to “pendulum” which will correct the swinging motion and return it to stabilized flight. It also is able to be maneuvered or “Fly to target” where the SO/RS can move it out towards the rotor arc without moving the helicopter.

 

There mixed opinions on when that would actually be used in our operation but we did find it useful to some extent in manipulating it while inserting/retrieving out of a confined area. That and when you are on a steep slope being able to keep it from swinging out away from the slope due to downforce rotorwash.
