Marshall has reached a significant milestone with the delivery of its first AeroMedical Evacuation System (AMES) to the Bangladesh Air Force, according to a press release.
This system, part of Marshall’s Adaptable Role-fit Capability (ARC) family of palletised products, aims to provide medium and high dependency patients with the best possible chance of survival during transport.
AMES, designed, engineered, tested, and assembled in-house, was developed in collaboration with medical experts and fleet operators. The system can be installed or removed from an aircraft in a matter of hours without any permanent modifications, a critical feature given the importance of response times in emergencies, say the company.
The system is compatible with Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules and other tactical airlifters that use 463L pallets, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for medical evacuations. Its modular design also allows for easy reconfiguration to meet specific medical needs.
“We are exceptionally proud to see AMES in the hands of the Bangladesh Air Force,” said Bob Baxter, Marshall Chief Growth Officer, quoted in the news release. “As a product developed and delivered from start to finish by Marshall, AMES is a perfect showcase of our engineering leadership, our depth of platform knowledge, and our enduring commitment to helping people in critical situations.”
The Bangladesh Air Force recently took delivery of its fifth and final C-130J Super Hercules, significantly enhancing the nation’s airlift capacity. All five aircraft were upgraded and prepared by Marshall and will be used in peace-keeping and humanitarian missions globally.
