All-terrain rescue vehicle with integrated rescue basket stretcher, protective hood and complete CBRN decontamination capability

Abstract

Rescue system for evacuating a person lying down from CBRN hazard areas, comprising a remotely controlled or autonomously driving all-terrain vehicle with a rescue basket stretcher integrated into the vehicle chassis, a decontaminated protective hood at least partially enclosing the stretcher, and completely smooth, substance-free, and CBRN-decontaminated external surfaces, characterized in that the vehicle includes a front camera on a 2-axis gimbal and a detachable pole with a 360-degree camera arranged in the upper area.

Description

1. Technical field The invention relates to an all-terrain, remotely controlled or autonomously driving rescue system for evacuating a person lying down from dangerous, inaccessible or chemically, biologically, radiologically or nuclear contaminated areas (CBRN zones). The invention lies in the fields of rescue technology, operational robotics, special vehicles and autonomous ground vehicles. 2. State of the art Known rescue systems include manually carried stretchers, simple wheeled stretchers, or mobile platforms. These systems have the following disadvantages: • they are not suitable for rough terrain, • they require multiple personnel, • they do not protect the person lying down from debris, weather, or contamination, • they are not autonomous or remotely controlled, • they are not fully decontaminated, • they do not have integrated sensors for navigation or environmental monitoring. Autonomous ground vehicles are known, but are not designed to accommodate and safely transport a person lying down. A system that combines an integrated stretcher, a protective hood, complete CBRN decontaminability and autonomous navigation is not disclosed in the prior art. 3. Object of the invention The object of the invention is to provide a rescue system that: • safely transports a person lying down, • can be used in rough or contaminated terrain, • can be operated remotely or autonomously, • is completely CBRN-decontaminated, • does not endanger emergency personnel, • and enables comprehensive environmental monitoring. 4. Solution to the task The problem is solved by a rescue system according to claim 1, which combines the following features: • an all-terrain chassis, • a rescue basket stretcher integrated into the chassis, • a protective, decontaminable hood, • a motorized or electric drive system, • a remote control or autonomy unit, • a front camera on a 2-axis gimbal, • a detachable pole with a 360-degree camera as its highest point, • completely smooth, fabric-free and decontaminable outer surfaces. The stretcher is not simply attached, but structurally integrated into the chassis. The hood protects the person from the elements, debris, and contaminated particles. Sensors enable navigation, environmental monitoring, and safe remote control. 5. Advantages of the invention • Safe evacuation from CBRN zones • Low personnel requirements • Protection of the person lying down through hood and deep embedding • Complete decontamination • Autonomous or remotely controlled navigation • Comprehensive all-round view through 360° camera • Stable front view through gimbal camera • Modular design for maintenance and variants • High stability due to low center of gravity 6. Examples of Implementation One embodiment comprises a four-wheeled chassis with an integrated rescue basket stretcher. A shock-resistant protective hood with a circumferential seal covers the stretcher. The front camera is mounted on a 2-axis gimbal. Behind the gimbal is a detachable pole with a 360-degree camera at its upper end. One variant includes a tracked chassis. Another variant includes fully autonomous navigation. The rod can be rigidly or damped mounted.
