Helicopters designed specifically for combat search and rescue (CSAR) are employed by the military to carry out search and rescue missions in hazardous or perilous terrain, usually during combat operations.
These helicopters are made to fly slowly and low, and they have modern avionics, armour protection, and defensive systems that enable them to operate in hostile territory.
A CSAR helicopter’s main duty is to find, rescue, and retrieve persons who are hurt, lost, or in danger. For support and protection during rescue missions, they are frequently utilised in concert with other military resources such ground forces, fighter aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Any contemporary military force must have CSAR helicopters because they offer a way to rescue and retrieve soldiers who are in danger and frequently make the difference between life and death for those engaged in combat operations.
Global combat search and rescue(CSAR) helicopter market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The HH-60W Jolly Green II combat search-and-rescue helicopter has made its first international deployment In order to effectively support the troops rescue mission in upcoming battles, the helicopter is replacing its forerunner, the HH-60G Pave Hawk. With the exception of 10, all but 10 of the projected 75 helicopters for the Jolly Green II fleet have been ordered from Lockheed Martin subsidiary Sikorsky.
As combat search and rescue airmen in the next conflict will probably have to negotiate a contested airspace with enemy surface-to-air missiles, radar, and hostile aircraft the Air Force is redesigning combat rescue for large battle. As the rescuers wait for a chance to enter, the missions may occur days or even weeks after the crash.
The House version of the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act stipulates that the Air Force must submit a report outlining its long-term plans for CSAR, including how they would function in the era of great power platforms.
