Research abstract
The Rapid, Semi-rigid, Cross-functional Ultralight (RSCU) is a casualty evacuation drag litter designed to minimize the loss of combat effectiveness while evacuating a wounded teammate. The RSCU rolls up into a small form factor, and under load and tension, it becomes semi-rigid due to the internal radial strap design, immobilizing casualties. Both the Base & Max versions weigh less than 5 pounds, and do not require assembly. It is also designed for on-the spot improvisation and modularity; RSCU allows extraction using the entire kit or its components (litter body and drag straps).
