Deployment Scenarios

First In: is a scenario which requires immediate communications and medical support after a Tsunami, Earthquake or another large scale disaster. Deployment by land may not be possible to air lift or where sea deployment will be required. The air-portable Pods can be on the ground supporting operations within hours, passing on vital information, acting as a control or operations centre and giving vital life saving medical support.

Follow-Up: is a scenario where extra capabilities are required after the initial response to an incident. Further capability can be deployed to enhance the first wave of support and bolted onto the first Pods. In post conflict environments or after man made disasters, follow up support is vital to the public and to start the stabilization phase, control the spread of disease and cope with the telecommunications traffic.

Stabilization: is where semi-permanent facilities are required to be put in place quickly to cope with refugees and displaced persons in search of help and support. Camps are often established quickly by victims and these tend to be near the centre of gravity for support. Support personnel need a clean and safe working environment in which to help local people. Deployment may be able to take place by land, sea or air in order to enhance the lack of critical medical and communications infrastructure.

Forward Positioning: would see a Communications Pod being deployed ahead of a major reconstruction and rehabilitation project offering world class communications, a comfortable and safe working environment in a self contained unit. They could be placed on standby for rapid deployment to an area which suffers from regular floods or droughts. At the strategic level CAS Pods could kept of standby for global disasters and airlifted into the area on heavy lift transport aircraft or reach the effected area by sea.


Routine Support: is a common scenario whereby the lack of basic infrastructure often associated with a post conflict or developing country offers little or no routine support to local people. Pods can be deployed to offer mobile medical and dental clinics reaching giving flexibility in order to reach a large number of people. Immunisation programs, post natal, dental and gynaecological clinics would reach out to hundreds of people instantly.
