Ever wondered how we drop emergency supplies from our high-speed jets? ✈️ During a rescue we may drop stores, including radios, food and water, to provide two-way communication or support the immediate survival needs of people in distress while they wait for rescuers to arrive. Check out this video of our crew as they practise dropping supplies from our Challenger search and rescue aircraft in Victoria last week. 🪂 Leidos Australia #SearchAndRescue #SavingLives #AMSA | Australian Maritime Safet

From time to time we’re asked why our Challenger search and rescue jets provide “top cover” for helicopters. The plane offers a set of eyes in the sky while helicopters perform close-quarters operations like landing on a ship or winching a person from the water. In the unlikely event that a helicopter experiences a failure and needs to ditch, the jet can quickly drop a life raft and maintain sight of the crew to assist their rescue. We take every precaution to ensure the safety of highly trained
