Battlefield Casualty Evacuation System (BCS)

Telutami Ltd is a British company that specialises in designing innovative solutions for the defence, rescue and emergency sectors. For military casevac / medevac requirements, Telutami have introduced the BCS - Battlefield Casualty Evacuation System, the world's smallest and lightest fully-integrated emergency casualty evacuation capability, providing the means to rapidly evacuate any casualties to the next stage of wound treatment.

With BCS there is no need for bulky stretchers or waiting for field ambulances to bring the casevac kit forward. It can be carried easily and used by any medically-trained personnel.

Battlefield Casualty Evacuation System

The BCS can be carried in a standard Personal Load Carrying Equipment (PLCE) pouch without space or weight penalty.


Where it is impossible or impracticable for wheeled or tracked vehicles to pick up casualties, the BCS offers an immediate emergency method of evacuation.


BCS can be carried with assault teams into the urban environment and be immediately on hand to assist with casevac.

It is completely self-contained enabling front-line troops to quickly and safely remove casualties without requiring bulky, heavy stretchers.

BCS can be supplied in various colours and can be adapted for all theatres, including hot weather (desert), cold weather (arctic) and jungle.

Compressible, Lightweight CASEVAC/MEDEVAC System

The BCS weighs approximately 980g and can be carried in a standard Personal Load Carrying Equipment (PLCE) utility pouch.


It is made of strong but lightweight rip-stop material that allows it to be compressed right down to fit into the smallest possible space for extreme portability.


Telutami’s BCS can also be carried in section first aid kit or a troop-carrying vehicle as part of its medical equipment.

Special Forces First Aid/Survival Adaptability

The multipurpose design of the BCS can be adapted for special forces use as part of discrete team or individual first aid and survival equipment. Specific variants can be designed and supplied for in-theatre roles. TAG, SWAT and speciality teams can order BCS in black. The almost-silent material used in manufacture makes it ideal for covert operations.

Airdrop CASEVAC System

The BCS is lightweight and can be safely and quickly airdropped to the point where it is needed. Further supplies of BCS can be supplied through the normal logistic chain.

CASEVAC Capability for Combat Medical Teams

As part of a standard first aid kit (medics / ambulance vehicles, troop-carriers, etc.) the BCS ensures that casevac capability is at the primary location and will contribute to the recovery of the wounded / injured casualty. Casualties can remain in the BCS until reaching a medical facility. Medical personnel returning to task can be given a new BCS as replacement as resupply space requirement in the logistic chain is minimal.

Disaster Casualty Evacuation

The BCS can be mass-dropped into difficult-to-reach areas where there are large numbers of injured to remove from danger, i.e. earthquake, flood, civilian insurrection and will assist with military-based aid to civilian populations.

Telutami: Winner of the Human Performance & Survivability category in the 2006
Defence Technology Exchange Innovation Awards!

This prestigious national competition, organised by Shephard, the DDA and the Daily Telegraph was aimed at highlighting innovation and technology transfer across a wide variety of market disciplines which are adaptable over a number of defence and commercial sectors.

Telutami’s innovative and lightweight Emergency Casualty Evacuation System clearly impressed the judges and Managing Director Jon Price is delighted at the award: “We were up against some very tough opposition in this category,“ he said. “However, the number of high-quality entries from companies of all sizes made us proud to have done so well.

It’s also a boost for the skill and capabilities of the local firms that manufacture our designs for us.

Now we are looking forward to consolidating our ECS into other Health and Safety markets as well as to further develop other products that we are working on, which include emergency hazardous area warning lights and sensors and an innovative anti-blast product.”

“Telutami has proven that it can come up with a winning concept-to-market product that provides versatile and multi-role capability and points the way in which the Company is committed. With new impetus through membership of the embryonic Defence Innovation Group and other planned initiatives, the intention is to highlight Telutami’s ability to design and provide real innovation for real problems.”
