Military, Coastguard and Civilian Search and Rescue (SAR) Helicopters are tasked with the recovery of survivors and casualties from the sea and other difficult or inaccessible locations. The Irvin-GQ Helicopter Rescue Harness Mk 4 is used to lower a SAR crewman to survivors. The Helicopter Rescue Strop is used in conjunction with the harness and enables the SAR crewman and survivor to be hoisted up to the helicopter.
