The Vita™ Rescue System® (VRS) provides a dynamic stabilization approach to hoist operations. The propulsion-driven device connects to most rescue kits and can be autonomously and manually controlled. Measuring over 1,000 data points per second, the system detects real-time movement and adjusts the load with high-powered fans to eliminate spinning, rotations, swinging or other problems that cause accidental injuries or fatalities. The result is accelerated extractions of victims and elimination of preventable hoist operation accidents.



The VRS gives the hoist operator precise control of the rescue device via a wireless pendant, making it the perfect tool for complex hoists on difficult terrain such as water, mountains, jungles, woods, and urban environments.
