Abstract

The article discusses the development and implementation of logistics chains to address the evacuation of casualties from aviation incidents. It considers publications that propose solutions for selecting forced landing sites for civil aviation vehicles and optimizing evacuation routes. Medical helicopter evacuation offers several benefits, including reducing the pre-hospitalization period, transporting casualties from hard-to-reach areas directly to high-level trauma centres, and providing extended pre-hospital care by highly qualified aeromedical teams. However, it is important to note that the use of helicopters carries risks to the crew's life, requires significant financial expenditures, and specialized equipment. The effectiveness of medical aviation helicopter usage depends on geographic and demographic trauma factors, the condition of the road network in the region, the proximity of emergency stations, helicopter bases, trauma centres, and the level of coordination between rescue services and hospital specialists. The evacuation of casualties from the scene of an incident using medical aviation helicopters can significantly reduce mortality in cases of severe injuries. The article explores the use of various technologies, such as computer and mathematical modelling, to optimize evacuation speed for civilian and military casualties during armed conflicts or emergencies. It examines international experience in managing transportation, particularly air transport, among participants in international chains/networks.
