Mission-ready aircraft
Platforms configured and certified for the mission profile, ready when the requirement is.
Operation
Where required, we operate. HWC runs complete operations – aircraft, crews, mission systems and ground segment – for medevac, surveillance, border patrol and more, on rotor or fixed-wing platforms selected by mission profile and availability.
DEPLOYABLE OPERATIONSSpecial mission as a service.
Flexible service-based concepts that provide access to aircraft, sensors, crews and operational expertise – configured around the required capability and mission duration. Where our own service is an option, we say so and assess it against the same criteria as any alternative.
Sensors & mission systems
EO/IR, radar, WAMI, RF and mission management integrated into one environment.
Crew & operational support
Flight crews, mission operators and technical teams supporting the operation.
Flexible deployment models
From short-term mission deployments to long-term service – sized to duration and need.
Operations set up for the mission.
The same operating model, configured differently for each task. Choose a mission to see how an operation is typically built.
Medevac
Medical evacuation and patient transfer – from pick-up at sites without a runway to long-distance transfers between hospitals.
- Crew
- Flight crew with medical crew from a partner organisation
- Equipment
- Medical interior, stretcher system and medical equipment fit
- Ground
- Dispatch and coordination with medical services and receiving hospitals
- Set-up
- Standby at the mobile station, readiness levels agreed with the customer
Fixed-wingLonger distances, pressurised cabin, transfers between airports
Multi-engine piston
Diamond DA62Efficient twin-engine special mission platforms – redundancy, endurance and low operating cost for surveillance, patrol and survey missions.
Turboprop
Beechcraft King AirThe most frequently configured ISR airframes – utility, medevac and long patrols from short strips.
Business / long-range jet
Bombardier Challenger 650Range, speed and pressurised cabins for long-distance medevac and high-altitude missions.
RotorLanding sites close to the patient, fast point-to-point response
Light single-engine helicopter
Airbus AS350 / H125Agile observation, medevac and aerial work close to the ground.
Twin-engine helicopter
Airbus EC135 / H135Medevac, SAR, urban operations and border response where twin-engine performance is required.
Specific aircraft are proposed per tasking, depending on availability.
Platforms by availability.
Which platform we deploy depends on mission profile, timeframe and what is available when the tasking comes. We propose rotor and fixed-wing options from our partner network and assess each against the same criteria.
HWC-operated service
Aircraft, crew and mission system provided as a service for the mission duration – no aircraft ownership required.
Customer aircraft, HWC-operated
Your platform, our crews, mission operators and technical teams – until your own organisation takes over.
Partner fleet
Platforms sourced from our partner network when timeframe or mission profile call for it, integrated into the same operating model.
From tasking to operation.
Site survey & planning
Location, airfield or landing sites, infrastructure, permissions and logistics assessed against the mission.
Mobilisation
Aircraft, crew, mission equipment, ground station and spares package prepared and moved.
Base set-up
Ground station, maintenance, communications and operations cell established at the operating base.
Mission operations
Flights to the agreed tasking, readiness and reporting rhythm.
Sustain & rotate
Maintenance, crew rotation and supply continuity for the duration of the deployment.
Hand-over or demobilise
Transfer of the capability to the customer’s own teams, or recovery of the unit.
