Continued development and refinement of the folding, telescopingrotor systemon the Kaman SAVER rescueejection seat are provided under an approximate $100,000 contract recently awardedby Naval Air DevelopmentCenter, Warminster, Pa. The modificationsare intended to enhanceconsistency of performance during SAVER's rotor deployment and lead into the next phaseof the unique vehicle'sdevelopment-transitional deployment of the entire system in unmanned air drop tests. SAVER (Stowable Aircrew Vehicle Escape Rotoseat) is Kaman's approachto the joint Navy/Air Force AERCAB (Air- crew Escape/RescueCapability) concept, which would provide aircrewmenwith an improved meansto reachsafety when forced to eject over enemy or hostile terrain. Equippedwith a turbofanengine, landing gear and basicflight instrumentation, SAVER was test flown for the first time in Decemtrer, 1971, becoming the world's first jet autogyro. SAVER is shownat left during the Air Force Associationexpo- sition in Washington,D. C., severalweeks ago. Adding a glamorous touch to the display is model Joy Hawkins.

On 28 April 1972, HSL-30 LAMPS Detachment 4 was notified that it would emergency deploy to the Southeast Asia Combat Zone within three days and join the USS Bid- dle (DLG 34) already enroute. Despite the fact that it had not been scheduled to deploy until July 1972, the det completed aircraft maintenance, C-5 on-load of aircraft and complete pack-up and joined Biddle in Subic Bay, P. I.

On 11 May the ship anived in the Gulf of Tonkin to as- sume its three combat line tours totalling 107 days. Biddle served as North Search and Rescue (NSAR) and as the Positive Identification and Radar Advisory Ship (PIRAZ). Biddle also served 26 days additional duty as the SAR 1000th LANDING-Capt E. W.

S. Forces in the Gulf of

Tonkin and over North Vietnam; and for planning and directing all SAR efforts in the Gulf of Tonkin.-

In its combat line tours, USS Biddle controlled 102 Navy and 56 Air Force strikes against North Vietnam. Biddle's air intercept controllers directed the intercept and destruc- tion of 13 enemy MIG aircraft by U. S. Navy and Air Force fighters. One night MIG aircraft attacked Biddle and were met by Biddle's missile and gun fire. (Continuedon page 19)

1550thRescues Hunters

CanyonÁ4ission Soves Two

Two hunters lost in the snow-coveredmountains of the northwest section of Morgan, Ut., were rescued recently by an HH-43 cew from the 1550th Flying Training Squad- ron, Hill AFB, Ut. Also participating in the search was an HH-53 from the training squadron.

As the hunting party was located in a closedcanyon with steep sides, the HH-43 elected to go in for the pickup. Capt David A. Voigt set the helicopter down on a slope F approximately 100 yards from the survivors. The landing was made without incident despite drifts in the area and blowing snow which caused white-out conditions. Capt Lawrence L. Foster (MC), a flight surgeon on board, examined the men and found that they were suffering from exposure and colds. Medical treatment for frostbite and other symptoms was administered enroute to Hill AFB Hospital.

Captain Foster said afterward that if the survivors had not been removed from the site their lives might havebeen in jeopardy. Other members of the rescue crew were LtOol Walton C.
