Snatch-Combat Casualty Recovery Device

Foster-Miller has leveraged its technological leadership in personnel entanglement via an IR&D program and applied it to the Casualty recovery Device (CCRD). The same team that has invented, developed and manufactured the Grab-NET family of non-lethal weapons systems has already been working on the CCRD through IR&D efforts. We have designed, built and successfully tested all of the critical components of the CCRD system. nd self contained and meets all of the requirements of the RFP. Our design is an adaptation of our Grab-NET system, using a reusable/re-loadable hand-tossed or gun launched tethered net. The s as follows: the net package is deployed by throwing/dropping/shooting the unit across the victim. The system is self-righting and upon command a pyrotechnic device pops the package up and opens the net. A tether attached to the lasso arrangement is used to pull the victim to safety. The Snatch process can be used to envelop and transport a completely unconscious victim.
