Background

The Department of National Defence, Recovery Salvage Support Section (RASS), at CFB Trenton is to provide a centralized Aircraft Recovery and Salvage Support Capability to the Royal Canadian Air Force. The team's mandate is to supply rapidly deployable aircraft recovery equipment and expertise to assist Air Force Wings with aircraft recovery and salvage operations.

RASS currently has an inventory of various types of temporary roadways but they are very heavy and cumbersome and require the use of a forklift. Unless current equipment is enhanced, the CF will have extremely limited options in terms of a heavy aircraft recovery utilizing debog recovery in any situation, especially in remote locations. Current equipment is extremely limited in its use as it requires significant ground preparation (for example, preparation on soft or frozen ground) which is, not always possible.

Current Deficiency

RASS is currently in need of a rapidly deployable C17 Debog system to significantly reduce RASS response and recovery time. Currently held equipment does not meet these requirements in many situations. This equipment is required to allow RASS to continue meeting its mandate IAW 1 Cdn Air Div Order, Vol 6, 6-310.
