HOOK3 Radio Comes to the Rescue in Simulated Mission
The General Dynamics Mission Systems HOOK3 Combat Survival Radio team recently joined a U.S. Air Force Operational Unit Evaluation, which included a simulated search and rescue mission to locate a downed NASA crew.
The exercise simulated a NASA Commercial Crew Programme launch abort and subsequent splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean, out of range and out of reach of existing planned rescue resources. This weeklong test event was held at Patrick Air Force Base and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
Using an Air Force C-17 serving as the rescue vehicle carrying pararescue jumpers (PJs), rafts and gear, the craft flew to the last known position of the capsule and began the search. The HOOK3 radio team joined in the week of testing, culminating in simulated rescue efforts. General Dynamics HOOK3 radio technical team member Jon Wootten was on board the space capsule with the HOOK3 radio.
He successfully communicated with fellow team member Tom Hams who was using the QuickDraw2 Interrogator inside the C-17 aircraft.

The exercise was a success, with the radio able to communicate with the capsule 90 nautical miles away. Using the HOOK3 radio, the rescuers and capsule crew quickly communicated to ensure the raft had all the emergency gear necessary before the Air Force pararescue jumpers parachuted from the C-17 to stabilise the capsule and wait for rescue.
