Wings has a designed support base that can offer a number of type-specific mission assets, capable of moving relief aid and personnel forward into the disaster site. These assets are varied to provide the most efficient, economical and capable transportation and support elements that will be required to support any disaster relief evolution. Deployable Ground Medical Facility (DGMF) The Deployable Ground Medical Facility (DGMF) for domestic or international disasters consists of four primary medical shelters with two expansion shelters. These can be erected in a hangar or in close proximity to the aircraft. The first shelter is a trauma/critical illness treatment facility, while the second shelter supports serious injuries or illnesses. The third and fourth shelters treat ambulatory patients. Wings co-locates its own deployable cache with the aircraft to enable a 3 hour deployment after mobilization.  Wings specialized staff will: • Assist in set up and teardown of portable shelters • Operate the onboard medical facility for use by first responders • Operate all ground support vehicles and aviation assets • Assist, as directed by authorized onsite commander, in medical procedures • Transport patients in the local site area • Staff and support the portable facilities • Coordinate the use of the command center for use by first responders  The two expansion shelters can be configured to support any of the three types of patients, depending on approximate patient census and acuity. Each shelter has twelve to sixteen treatment positions. The medical equipment utilized in the AMMF and the DGMF are, for the most part, the same as used by current U.S. Military combat medical and surgical facilities. The DGMF can triage, stabilize, and treat a minimum of 400 patients per day. Patients arriving by air ambulance or ground EMS transport will be triaged at the DGMF. Patients requiring additional critical care or surgery after stabilization in the DGMF will be referred to the AMMF. Patients who have been treated and stabilized can be released to another supportive entity, as the scope of Wings’ national disaster response is to stabilize patients until further necessary treatment is available. The DGMF includes: • Showers and sanitation facilities • Staff sleeping facilities • Food and commissary facility • Ice and refrigeration capable • Self supporting electrical generation As well as typical medical support units and telephonic transmission devices, Wings provides a number of type specific support equipment such as: Portable X-ray Equipment

This computer based technology allows for continuous operation during inclement weather. The Series 2100 ILS provides Category I, II and III performance in the most versatile and technically advanced system in the industry today. Available in multiple configurations and with a wide variety of antenna arrays, the 2100 is field upgradable from Category I to Categories II and III to meet changing operating conditions. The 2100 provides user friendly computer-based interface, integrates the latest technical features and reduces system component content. The 2100 combines ease-of-operation and maintenance with increased performance and significantly reduced installation, maintenance and logistics costs. With software designed and qualified to rigorous RTCA DO-178 Level B standards, the 2100 exceeds industry standards for reliability and performance. The 2100 Series features: • Dual and Single equipment configurations Griffon 1000TD Hovercraft The operational requirements for Wings World Wide in a response mission could require traversing over marine or small land obstacles. The Griffon T1000 is a hovercraft capable of carrying one ton of payload in open deck form or up to 11 persons or 16 litter patients. Additionally, a deck crew of two operates this fully amphibious vehicle at high speeds over a variety of surfaces up to 3 ft. in height. Dimensions of the craft are such that it will fit within an open-top 40ft container or can be towed on a trailer, thus ensuring quick and convenient transportation. The vehicle also fits easily into the Wings’ HLF aircraft for transport worldwide. Operationally, the T1000 can operate in winds up to 25 kts. and sea swells of up to 3 ft. The T1000 is powered by a Deutz diesel BF6L913C that produces 141 KW (192hp) at 2500 rpm. Carrying approximately 100 gallons of fuel, the T1000 can operate any mission of up to 17 hours with a range of 250 miles, at 5.6 gals/hr. It has a top speed of 31.1 mph. Two forward facing seats are provided, the port one occupied by the Commander and the starboard occupied by either a crewmember or passenger. In the rear portion of the cabin, 8 bunk style litters and four forward facing passenger seats can be installed. These seats and litters can quickly be removed to allow space for carrying humanitarian cargo.   The hull construction is of aluminum with side skirts made of nylon over hypalon and there are full length skids with replaceable rubber wear surfaces the length of the hull to allow landing on unmade beaches and rough ground. The craft has hinged side deck mounts which enable it to be reduced in width for air transport, inside a shipping container or on its own trailer. A non-slip surface is provided on the decks. Four aluminum mooring cleats are provided, two on the bow and two on the stern. The bow cleats can be used as towing points. All the skirt components are accessible and changeable from outside, on land, without having to jack the craft. The passenger cabin has large window areas giving excellent visibility. The roof sections can be equipped with quick release catches if required so freight can be carried easily. The windows are of polycarbonate. The floor surface is finished with grey non-slip deck paint. Special Terrain Medical Transport (STMT)
Wings Special Terrain Medical Transport (STMT) is a custom made stretch version of the Jeep Wrangler. Specially outfitted with litter and medical components, this vehicle allows Wings to deploy forward from the aircraft to the disaster area. The STMT can traverse difficult terrain where other vehicles cannot. The vehicle carries a crew of four and/or four litter patients and can be carried in the belly of all 747 aircraft. The Mule Trailer Transport (MTT)
The specially configured “mule” trailer transport (MTT) is adaptable to almost any situation. Shipped in the cargo hold of any of the Wings’ aircraft, towed by the STMT or disassembled and transported in pieces, this unit provides for any number of configurations and uses. Lightweight, it normally carries food, fuel, medicine, and electricity as well as water purification equipment, along with tent and shelter. WINGS Mobile Medical Vehicle The Wings on Wheels Mobile Medical Vehicle can be deployable nation-wide in the event of domestic disaster situations. This vehicle contains an admitting area, exam room and trauma room. Wings can deploy as many of these as desired, pre-positioning them at locations that can easily reach anywhere in the United States within hours. These vehicles can be maintained and used daily by local hospitals for blood drives, community activities or the like while in abeyance for national disasters. These vehicles can then be deployed to any disaster site within hours, arriving fully self contained. These units can remain on site as long as necessary to facilitate any disaster response. 
The vehicle sits on a truck chassis with the interior designed and outfitted by medical conversion teams. With its own generator, the vehicle is self supporting with the ability to deploy tent extensions, awnings, satellite communication, TV, radio and wheelchair accessibility. 37 feet long, the vehicle can accommodate dental, medical, blood drives and disease screening. Wings on Wheels Cargo Transport The Wings on Wheels Ground Cargo Unit is a tractor trailer rig used both as a support vehicle and independent humanitarian delivery vehicle. Operating in conjunction with the Wings Mobile Medical Vehicle, this rig can carry food, water, shelter and other humanitarian relief in support of domestic manmade or natural disaster relief. When not in designated service for disaster relief, these ground cargo units can move donated used medical equipment from hospitals to the Wings Humanitarian Resource Center, where they can be sorted, assembled, repaired and palletized for shipment throughout the world. Wings Utility Landing Aircraft
The Wings marine Utility Landing Craft (ULC) can carry a crew of 6, along with rescue and humanitarian aid. With its bow loading capability, this 22 ft. aquatic vehicle can carry cargo loads of up to 2 tons, or utilize the rescue feature for victims as depicted. With its shallow draft, this vehicle can go into areas where depth and debris are a critical factor. The ULC can be loaded into all Wings Aircraft, and transported as slung cargo bythe Eurocopter 235, or towed by Wings ground vehicle fleet. Utilizing these craft to locate disaster victims allows rescuers to eliminate search and concentrate on rescue. |
