For a number of years air crew members have complained of problems with survival kits, vests, and components. These complaints have been debated time and again with no resolution forthcoming to meet the comprehensive crash survival needs of the aircrew members. In an effort to resolve these complaints, a survey was initiated throughout the U.S. Army Aviation Community to identify the problem areas and develop rationale for correction action. This report discusses results of the survey and conferences held following completion of the survey. Medical, Crash, Search and Rescue and Aviation Community Data provided rationale for new approaches to survival kits and vests. These approaches to reduce the amount of present day survival components were modified by each conference and upgraded to improve the aircraft crash survival environment. The reductions in helicopter crash fires and the ability of rescue teams to recover crash survivors in six hours or less has contributed to the need to replace present day non-essential items with only essential, absolute need, survival components.
