SKEDCO Military & Civilian Air/Land/Sea Rescue & Resupply System
An easily-transported roll of thick friction-defeating plastic enables rescue of wounded Soldiers and delivery of vital supplies by ground towing by just one other person as a sled. The SKEDCO also acts as a multi-function litter for transport of wounded persons or supplies inside air, ground or sea craft. The SKEDCO rescue & resupply system can be hoisted by a vertical take-off and landing aircraft from a hover by powered winch or rappel rope lowered and raised manually during mountain rescue and climbing operations.

Special Rescue Methods
SKEDCO rescue/resupply litters can also be made to float to rescue persons in the water or be towed by combat swimmers bearing supplies and equipment. In confined spaces like on board ships and in industrial machinery, SKEDCOs are the best means to rescue injured persons without aggravating their condition.

HAZ-MAT/WMD SKED "SkyHook" Powered, Mechanized Rescue System
Homeland accidents with hazardous material (HAZ-MAT) or attacks using weapons of mass destruction (WMD) like chemical, biological or nuclear weapons could demand rescue workers to wear protective clothing that generally impairs breathing. Manually carrying or even SKEDCO sliding casualties could rapidly exhaust rescue personnel possibly causing them to go down as heat stroke or heat exhaustion casualties, compounding the already tragic situation. SKEDCO has the "SkyHook" powered sliding rescue system available to rapidly remove casualties from contaminated areas and preserve the physical powers of first responders.
Hoisting Mechanisms
SKEDCO offers rescue tripods to hold SKEDCO rescue/resupply litters for vertical insertion/extractions into wells, mine shafts and sink holes.
