Light weight variable force restraint
An evacuation system may comprise an evacuation slide configured to be deployed from an aircraft, first strap coupled to the evacuation slide, a second strap coupled to the evacuation slide, and a releasable restraint extending through the first strap and the second strap, the releasable restraint comprising a first stem connected to a first bead and a second stem connected to a second bead, where a diameter of the second stem is different from a diameter of the first stem.
Method and device for rescue mission assistance
A method at a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and a UAV, adapted therefore, is adapted for enabling assisting in a rescue mission, where the method comprise: initiating a first localization of at least one body or object; initiating an analysis, for determining, at least partly based on the first localization of the at least one body or object, a need for activities, and initiating the determined activities, comprising applying floatable foam to an area on or in close proximity to the at least one body or object, while applying, to the floatable foam, a recognizable means capable of assisting in a second localization of the at least one body or object.

IMPROVED STORAGE OF LIFERAFTS
A liferaft system comprises a container for storing a liferaft, and at least one sheet of material for fitting over an exterior surface of the liferaft container and configured to heat an interior volume of the liferaft container.
Dual configuration evacuation assembly
An evacuation assembly of an aircraft may include an evacuation slide and a sheet coupled to the evacuation slide. The sheet may be deployable in a negative lift configuration and a canopy configuration. In the negative lift configuration, the sheet may extend across at least a portion of an underside of the evacuation slide. In the canopy configuration, the sheet may extend over at least a portion of a top side of the evacuation slide. The evacuation assembly may also include a support that is coupled to and extends between the top side of the evacuation slide and the sheet in response to the sheet being in the canopy configuration.

Projectile Launcher Assembly
A projectile launcher assembly includes a housing mounted to the deck of a maritime vessel. The housing has a plurality of launching wells each extending into the housing. A plurality of projectiles is positioned within a respective one of the launching wells. A launching unit is positioned in the housing to launch each of the projectiles outwardly from the respective launching wells thereby facilitating the plurality of projectiles to be dispersed into a body of water in which the maritime vessel is traveling. A plurality of buoyancy vests is each positioned within a respective one of the projectiles. Each of the buoyancy vests is inflatable when the projectiles are launched from the housing to facilitate the individual that has fallen overboard to wear one of the buoyancy vests to inhibit the individual from drowning.
