Mass Rescue Operations Fixed-Wing Aircraft Test for the Science and Technology Directorate
Summary
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate is seeking aircraft charter services to test a prototype large‑capacity ultralight flotation device that can be deployed from a fixed‑wing aircraft during mass rescue operations at sea. The notice emphasizes evaluating the device’s performance when dropped from aircraft such as a C‑130 or HC‑144, but does not request development of the device itself.
