Squad-Multipurpose Equipment Transport Medical Module Payload for Casualty Extraction

Vecna proposes the CASEVAC litter assist winch (CLAW) to allow a combat medic or CLS to single- handedly load a casualty-laden litter onto the S-MET. This semi-autonomous system will, on command, deploy a robotic crane near the litter that can be rapidly attachedwith an extensive arm reach, CLAW can reach litters positioned up to 10 feet away. The CLS only has to issue a lift command for the crane to automatically provide all the lifting effort needed to move the litter onto the S-MET. The litter is secured via a quick-locking and suspension system that protects the casualty from bumps in transit. Additionally, a lightweight, yet strong ballistic protection surrounds the casualty protecting them from artillery fire. Vecna's CLAW is self-contained (drawing power from the S-MET) and can be rapidly utilized in the field, taking a single person under 10 minutes to configure it for CASEVAC.
