Problems and Alternatives in the Combat Rescue of Navy Aircrewmen

M. G. Every / J. F. Parker

This report examines specific problems that affect the rescue of naval aviators downed under combat conditions. It discusses the pros and cons of alternative rescue systems such as air-to-air, flyaway, ground-to-air, etc. The subsystems of an air-to-air rescue system are evaluated as to operational practicability. The air-to-air system is modeled for potential effectiveness utilizing the actual ejection and survival data of the Navy aircrewmen who ejected and became prisoners of war. (Author)
