The objective of this effort was to develop a purchase description delineating the operating parameters of a rescue tool in performing a realistic variety of aircraft crash rescue tasks. The data collected during the extensive series of field tests indicate that there is not presently a commercial rescue tool that can completely fulfill the Air Force crash rescue requirements. The intent of this effort was to evaluate the operational performance of each tool; quantification of tool design limitations was not part of this effort. A proposed purchase description accompanies this report. Keywords: Cutting jaw; Ballistic hose; Ingress; Egress; Cutting tools; Rescue equipment.
