Personnel Locator System is a high-performance, cost-effective Search and Rescue (SAR) and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) System with a proven operational track record. PLS provides secure, encrypted communications between rescue forces and isolated personnel during civil and combat rescue missions.
The airborne guidance system is the latest evolution of Cubic’s AN/ARS-6 PLS® – the No. #1 Combat Search and Rescue system for U.S. and NATO forces for nearly two decades. The current version is smaller, lighter, and more powerful than its predecessor. The system is primarily installed on rotary-wing aircraft but has evolved to include selected fixed-wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles that support today’s personnel recovery missions.
