2.0 V-22 FWSAR Concepts of Employment
Figure 2-1 Flight Sequence – Conversion from Hover Mode to Airplane Mode
Tiltrotor fixed-wing aircraft are specifically designed for long-range situations where a mid-
mission hover capability means the difference between life and death and are a revolutionary
step in aviation, not just an incremental improvement over current technology.
Missions are flown to austere locations without improved airfields; where a mid-mission
hover for personnel recovery or drop-off is anticipated and speed and range are crucial to
mission success. The V-22 capability enables the FWSAR aircrew to significantly decrease
response times to rescue from distress call to JRCC squadron tasking to personnel recovery at
sea or in remote mountainous regions. Short take-offs/landings (STOL) further increase response
ranges.
Tiltrotor Benefit to FWSAR: Once persons, ships or other craft which are in distress or
imminent danger are located by the V-22, personnel recovery can begin immediately. This
includes retrieval of critically injured persons in distress, provisions for their initial medical or
other needs, and their delivery to a place of safety. Medical equipment is available on board or
can be delivered to the scene, to aid the survivor immediately upon recovery. Because V-22
vibration is significantly less than that of helicopters, on-board surgical procedures can be
accomplished, having a positive effect in recovery and victim survival.
Tiltrotor Benefit in the Concept of Operations (CONOPS): Tiltrotor capabilities offer
opportunities never before considered using legacy rotary & fixed-wing platforms. V-22
employment in a SAR role can mitigate risk to SAR Crews while decreasing rescue time-to-
survivor. With the exception of extreme weather conditions, no longer will commanders need to
risk the lives of valiant SAR Techs parachuting into hostile environmental conditions to stabilize
patients. Commanders will not have to order SAR Techs to remain overnight on ice flows while
waiting for rotorcraft extraction, and costly survival equipment will no longer be considered
consumables.
Tiltrotor Impact to Conventional CONOPS: Worldwide both fixed wing and rotary wing
customers are engaged in analysis of V-22 tiltrotor applications; each country having unique
military and civil agency interaction and mission sets. Truly understanding the opportunity that
V-22 fixed-wing tiltrotor can provide requires new analyses of how tiltrotor capabilities would
affect the concept of operations (CONOPS) – beginning with what works from a legacy
CONOPS augmenting it with the capabilities V-22 provides. Like many countries, this
capability may offer challenges to Canada in many respects such as procedural, command

structure, political and mission tasking; however, these same challenges can offer the greatest
benefits to Canada not only in the arena of SAR operations but more importantly in the improve
the numbers of lives saved.
We present below an approach to such a CONOPS analysis, outlining the discriminating
factors V-22 offers to Canada in SAR responsiveness, mission risk reduction, environmental
impacts and operational cost factors.
2.1 Bases Which Could Support V-22 FWSAR Coverage Operations
Our analysis begins with a notional basing strategy aimed at supporting the entire Canadian
Area of Responsibility (AOR). Proposed main basing options both for CFB and forward
operating location (FOL) options are shown in following figures. Given the increased shipping
traffic through the Northern Passages and requirements to be responsive to Canadian sovereignty
rights, we have proposed Alert, Nanisivik and Resolute as northern FOLs in addition to
flexibility that Inuvik, Yellowknife, Rankin Inlet, Iqaluit, Gosse Bay and Gander can provide.
For our analysis, we would also include commercial facilities with fuel (notably Sachs Harbor
and Sandspit) as reasonable recovery locations, but not as initial launch points. Typically, these
additional FOLs could be used as detachments or just as fuel stops with aircraft based at the four
main operating bases along the Canadian/US border.
Extending our analysis toward the full utilization of the V-22’s capability of not only
performing the search, but also the immediate rescue of isolated personnel, Figure 2-2 below
illustrates the V-22’s nominal unrefueled 450 nm radius capability with a one-hour loiter time,
10 min hover time for extraction, and necessary reserves. Response times are based on
conservative 230kts cruse best range, V-22 is qualified up to 310kts when time is of the essence.

2.2 Responsiveness V-22 Fixed-Wing Search & Recovery Coverage
Allowing for very limited use of aerial refueling and/or fuel stops at commercial fields
missions with a one-hour loiter time and necessary reserves. Purple areas show where additional
aerial refueling would be required to service the whole of the Canadian SAR area of
responsibility at turboprop transit speeds. Typically, only a single refueling is required, although
a second refueling is needed in the far, eastern corners. Sea based oil rigs or shipboard refueling
are options to consider for long range missions. Our analysis assumes that the refueling would
take place prior to the “bingo” point, or that point where there is still sufficient fuel onboard to
return to a land base.

The V-22 is able to recover personnel within the entire AOR within the required
15-hour timeframe.
Figure 2-4 illustrates selected examples of mission times for key survivor sites. Even with a
requirement for a second refueling in the far eastern corners, our response/recovery time is well
within the requested timeframe.

Figure 2-4. Selected Search & Assist Mission Durations
If aerial refueling resources are a concern, it is important to note that the V-22 can, with
some development, be fitted with an aerial refueling kit to provide a self-AR capability that
would not tax alternative AR resources. That kit is depicted below.
Figure 2-5. V-22 Aerial Refueling Kit Concept
For reference, during typical V-22 flight operations the aircraft flies 80-90% in the fixed-
wing forward-flight airplane mode, cruising at standard speeds exceeding 230+ kts. For
calculation factors given weight, temperature and altitude NAVAIR uses 230 kts as conservative
cruise airspeed, although V-22 has a flight clearance up to 310 kts. For most missions, V-22 is
able to fly at its maximum speed, sacrificing distance only slightly.
In Figure 2-6 our analysis depicts a conservative estimate of response time to recover a
survivor for typical fixed wing and helicopter speeds in comparison to V-22 where the benefits

utilizing the V-22 are readily seen in comparison to conventional fixed-wing/helicopter
approaches. Not only do we estimate a 30 percent savings in overall time to pick up the
survivor(s), but we believe there could be a substantial reduction in the number of air/ground
assets required to perform an operation, freeing those assets for other missions or needs within
the Canadian set of responsibilities.
In the end, the V-22 can augment the total capability of Canadian fleet forces to optimize the
use of assets for missions where each asset is best used, resulting in substantial overall cost
savings and much-improved performance.
Figure 2-6. Time & Aircraft to Rescue Survivor
V-22 was designed for shipboard environments, SAR missions may have a need to extend
ranges with lilly pad refueling. NATO’s Helicopter Operating Ships other Than Aircraft Carriers
(HOSTAC) identifies three Canadian ships as capable of recovering H-53 or H-46 which is
comparable in dimensions and weight to V-22. The Canadian Navy future Joint Support Ship
(JSS) would be ideal operating base for V-22. These and other sea based options such as oil rigs
for refueling can supplement aerial or land based refueling.

2.3 SAR Mission Scenarios Reviewed
Below, we have taken several real life rescue missions and developed a narrative description
of how each might have been conducted using the V-22 as an alternative SAR platform.
Outlined below are based on recent Canadian Air Force (CAF) web-site news articles
(referenced in each). Specifics relative to mission timing, aircraft speeds, fuel stops, aircrew and
SAR Tech personnel are our estimates.
These missions are offered as generic examples of the discriminating advantages V-22
offers and to elicit consideration of these factors for FWSAR evaluation. In each narrative, we
have provided an alternative mission profile/routing and discussed various discriminating factors
related to the execution of each mission reflective of operational cost & aircraft availability,
human factors, response time, overall recovery time, and the related mission carbon footprint
impact. In each scenario presented, we estimate substantial benefits for each of these factors and
often multiple factors for a particular mission.

Synopsis of a Canadian SAR mission on June 26, 2006 – This SAR mission involved a
long range-search, Canadian SAR mission to rescue hunters from Fox Basin.
(http://www.airforce.forces.ca/8w-8e/nr-sp/index-eng.asp?page=5). Three hunters from Hall
Beach, Nunavut were rescued after three days at sea after their 22-foot freighter canoe ran out of
fuel approximately 50 kilometers from their departure point at Hall Beach in Fox Basin. The CC-
130 Hercules and crew from 424 Sqn, from 8 Wing Trenton, airdropped fuel to the hunters in
austere arctic conditions. Once the vessel received the fuel it began sailing for a short period but
then became disabled by flooding. As the crew day ended for the 424 Sqn, the two additional
CC-130 Hercules from 435 Sqn at 17 Wing Winnipeg relieved the Trenton crew and to provide
top cover. In the end One CC-130 from 8 Wing, 424 Squadron in Trenton Ontario was
dispatched, and then two CC-130 aircraft from 17 Wing, 435 Squadron in Winnipeg, Manitoba
and in addition one CP-140 from 14 Wing, 413 Squadron and one CH-149 from Gander,
Newfoundland were also dispatched to support the operation which took 11 hrs to arrive on the
site. While providing this top cover, the CC-130 dropped a Survival Kit Air Droppable (SKAD)
containing basic survival material such as a life raft, survival suits, food and water. Following the
drop, the CC-130 Hercules crews were relieved by a CP-140 Aurora aircraft and crew from 405
Maritime Patrol Squadron located at 14 Wing Greenwood. The CP-140 watched the canoeists
until they were picked up, by an 18-foot rescue vessel which happened to be in the area. The CH-
149 arrived to assist if required, and the CC-130 from Trenton returned and dropped sleeping
bags, a stove and other survival supplies to sustain the group on a nearby beach after being
dropped off by the rescue vessel. The hunters were picked up by a rescue vessel at a later time; in
the end no aircraft recovered the hunters.

Synopsis of a Canadian SAR mission on February 16, 2007 – Arctic SAR Mission for a
rescue a stranded boater on ice flows in extreme weather conditions.
(http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/17w-17e/nr-sp/index-eng.asp?id=8760). This mission involved
a long-range search and then later rescue which included a parachute jump by two SAR Techs in
extreme weather conditions. One CC-130 from 17 Wing, 435 Squadron and one CC-138 from 17
Wing, 440 Squadron in Winnipeg were dispatched to support; and a CH-149 from 19 Wing, 442
Squadron in British Columbia for later extraction. The Two SAR Techs parachuted from the
CC-130 at more than 900 meters at night in 45-50 kilometer winds and extreme wind-chill of -50
to -60 Celsius onto the arctic ice flow near Cape Parry about 960 kilometers northwest of
Yellowknife. After landing on the ice flow, the SAR Tech’s and boater spent 18 hours in a tent
on the arctic. The CH-149 and civilian helicopter coordinated the extraction of survivors and
SAR Techs. A Park Ranger ground search party assisted the rescue by narrowing the search area.
The Twin Otter from 440 Squadron in Yellowknife located the missing hunter and the
Cormorant Helicopter from Comox flew for over 11 hours one way, to conduct the extraction.

2.6 Mission Three – Overview
Figure 2-13. V-22 Scenario SAR Mission Remote Water (Lake) Location
Synopsis of a Canadian SAR mission on July 28, 2009 – This mission involved a rescue
two survivors with injuries from a water/land location after an aircraft crash.
(http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/19w-19e/nr-sp/index-eng.asp?id=9055). A CC-115 from 442
Squadron assisted conducted a search for a plane crash with injured survivors, with an extraction
at a later time by a CH-149. At 10 a.m. a Cormorant helicopter and a Buffalo aircraft flew to
provide support and rescue of the survivors. The float plane had crashed on Azure Lake,
approximately 185 kilometers north of Kamloops, BC. The SAR Technicians onboard the
Buffalo were ready to parachute in the water once the aircraft would arrive on scene. After flying
over the Lake once, the crew noticed that the two survivors had been brought on shore by friends
of the survivors who were flying another float plane. The SAR Techs parachuted on the shore
from 3,000 feet to attend to the patients; they assessed the patients and prepared them for the
evacuation. The survivors suffered from multiple non life-threatening injuries. A civilian
helicopter from Clearwater was called upon to transport one SAR Tech and the two patients
while the Cormorant was on its way to the site. The SAR helicopter met with the group in
Clearwater and evacuated the patients to Kamloops where Emergency Health Services personnel
took them to a local hospital. The Cormorant then returned to Azure Lake to recover the two
remaining SAR Techs and their equipment.

(http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/14w-14e/nr-sp/index-eng.asp?id=6654). One CC-130 Hercules and CH-
149 from 14 Wing, 413 Squadron responded to a fisher complaining of chest pains from a fishing vessel
30 nautical miles south of Sable Island in the morning. The CH-149 Cormorant helicopter lowered three
SAR Techs to the vessel to extract the sick man and transport him to a hospital in Halifax. The CC-130
Hercules provided top cover for the Cormorant, but responded to the Second SAR Mission for an aircraft
crash to also provide top cover duties. The second SAR mission involved additional assets of one CH-149
from 5 Wing, 444 Squadron Gander, Newfoundland and one CH-146 Griffin from 5 Wing Goose Bay. A
Beaver float plane crashed also in the morning 70 nautical miles east of Schefferville, Quebec with seven
people on board. Two of the passengers had critical injuries with the others receiving injuries that
included broken bones. The re-tasked C-130 dropped three SAR Techs on site to help the victims of the
crash. The CH-146 and CH-149 recovered all passengers were then transported to hospitals in Wabush
and Goose Bay, Labrador for further medical treatment.
