Challenge
The French Air Force needed Airbus Defence and Space to provide a highly flexible, reconfigurable aeromedical solution that could rapidly configure the A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport for aeromedical evacuation.
Airbus was challenged to select a suitable partner that understood the stringent demands of military medical operations and was able to design a system that is suitable for military deployments.
Solution
Airbus selected Nova Systems to design and supply the medevac equipment based on the operational expertise that we were able to bring into the design of the solution.
We designed a modular system that provided the French Air Force with the ability to configure the medical equipment for each patient rapidly, with minimal maintenance requirements and maximum compatibility with the military logistics system.
The system entered service with the French Air Force in 2019, and was used in the French Government’s Covid-19 pandemic response to transport patients around France and Europe.
