Advanced Rescue
Craft - ARC
Save
Lives.
Since the 1940s, parts of Antarctica have
warmed by nearly five degrees Fahrenheit, as evidenced by records at the United
Kingdom's Faraday Station. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is half the size of the
U.S. and more than three miles thick at its deepest point. Were it to break up
or slide into the ocean, sea level around the world might suddenly rise by
twenty feet, imperiling billions of people.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey,
global sea level has risen about 4 inches (10 cm) during the past century. It
says if all the Earth's glaciers melted, which is unlikely, sea levels would
rise by 260 feet (80 meters). Antarctica, the fifth largest continent, contains
about 90 percent of the world's glacial ice.
The ARC
survival craft, is the only one of its
design in the world.
Its extremely rugged high density, custom
molded exterior allows this practical yet attractive looking vessel with its
unique geometric design to withstand flooding and marine disasters. With its low center of
gravity, created by storing large volumes of fresh drinking water in the bilge
area for ballast, this self-righting and auto-surfacing, extremely buoyant
vessel can withstand, torrents of fast moving water, mud slides, rapid ocean
flooding and even large breaking waves caused by Tsunami.
The ARC’s ability to survive Tsunami is what makes it
truly unique and separates it from all other inflatable life rafts and rescue
boats. Its tsunami survival capability earns the ARC a classification all of it’s own. IT can
also be
buried below ground and used as a Tornado shelter and also transported via
helicopter to remote mountain top locations and be used to provide transportable
emergency
rescue shelters or lodging for technicians etc.
Loaded with substantial quantities of survival
& emergency provisions. It accommodates and secures 4 people with relative
comfort for a period of up to 4 months if needed.
The emergency locator beacon and strobe light,
assures quick location and rescue. This unit can be transported and rescued
easily once located by a Helicopter, boat, rescue truck, etc.
The hi-end model of the ARC comes with its own self-contained, solar generating, electrical system. A few of the on board electrical components include: Interior lighting, high visibility emergency locating strobe light beacon, gps,cb, vhf and the BayGen am/fm radio. These units also come fully equipped with an emergency locator signal transmitter operating on internationally recognized rescue frequencies.
