Search & Rescue Life Rafts
The RFD SAR-Raft provides Search and Rescue agencies with a universal air droppable liferaft system that is simple to deploy. The system can be despatched from virtually any rotary or fixed wing aircraft and requires no costly airframe modifications.
Two configurations of the RFD SAR-Raft are available. The SAER-Raft for fixed wing/forward flight applications features automatic liferaft inflation on contact with the water, while the dispatcher controls inflation of the SAR (H) hover variant. The low weight and bulk of the versatile packaged RFD SAR-Raft enable multiple units to be carried to satisfy differing mission requirements.
The system is equally suitable for smaller aircraft types.
The RFD SAR-Raft is capable of being despatched with high levels of accuracy from helicopters hovering at 9 – 15m (30-50ft), of from aircraft in forward flight at altitudes ranging from30-90 meters (100-300ft) and forward speeds of up to 140 knots.
