Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pictured are 1 Mercian soldiers and RAF Regt Gunners demonstrating the use of the R-LIFT stretcher.

The R-LIFT is a fully rigid litter that deploys in seconds, weighs only 6.5 lbs and boasts a maximum load carrying capacity of 400 lbs. 

The litter is constructed from a neoprene coated nylon material, offering high abrasion resistance as well as making it easy to clean. The R-LIFT comes with a built-in inflatable air bladder designed to support the head and align the spine; also included are integrated straps to stabilize the head. Additionally, the R-LIFT comes with a replaceable integrated emergency blanket that can be deployed quickly to prevent hypothermia. 

Over 200 personnel from 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment, 51 Squadron RAF Regiment and 45 Commando, have been putting new and innovative kit and capabilities through their paces on Salisbury Plain Training Area in Wiltshire, as they took part in the third phase of the Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE) 17.

AWE 17 has been at the forefront of the drive for world-class innovation at Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) in which businesses and organisations, both large and small, were invited to submit solutions to a range of ‘problems’ set by the AWE team and were able to compete on a level playing field. From the 275 initial submissions, 72 products, from a self-sterilizing water bottle and a 56 foot ‘EasiBridge’ were selected for the project.
