Aerospace Payloads and Related Equipment: Modular Aeromedical Transport System - Spaceflight Equipment - Ground-based Equipment

Modular Aeromedical Transport System (MATS)

The U.S. Air Force currently relies on pre WWII technology to carry patients during transport. But canvas sheets on wooden poles can't meet the wide variety of patient needs, including accommodating medical treatment equipment, such as ventilators, defibrillators, IV pumps and monitors, which accompany critical care patients.

Current aeromedical transport configuration

Under a contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Techshot recently developed a safer, lighter and more comfortable modular patient transport system, which fully integrates 21st century life support technology.

Techshot MATS system

This technology demonstrator Modular Aeromedical Transport System safely incorporates all monitoring and treatment equipment required by critical patients. Shown are two units attached together, one with the optional medical equipment support module configured for a critical care transport.
