We’ve posted about TRACE Systems before, mostly in broad terms, or focusing on the basic capabilities. This week we’re featuring the RED Kit, the flagship kit of TRACE Systems, which is essentially the professional level, comprehensive capability kit. This kit will allow a trained individual to perform more high angle functions than any other comparable system at a fraction of the weight and pack volume. And the icing on the cake is that there is actual test data supporting the capabilities and limitations to ensure usage within safe parameters.
The RED Kit allows full rescue systems, including two person loads (with advanced training) such as pick-offs, lowers and raises. Consider high angle urban or mountain environments, collapsed structure or confined space rescue, marine interdiction, even climbing with the addition of intermediate anchors (sold separately). The kit provides a significant expansion of a SOF team’s capability with a minimal weight footprint.
The kit can be scaled up or down mission dependent, and on average, for a mere 4.5 lbs, can give a team a capability that allows 150 feet of egress, tactical positioning, casualty rescue and evacuation and climbing.
High Angle Solutions is a weekly feature by DMM and CTOMS.
