About this file
This document is a Product Description (PD) that defines the production requirements for Tie-Downs, Lanyards, and Tethers used with the Air Warrior system. It covers components in both Foliage Green (FG) and Generic Color, which are identical in form, fit, and function except for the material color. The PD lists the specific part numbers, assemblies, and performance requirements for items such as the Safety Restraint Tether, Quick-Release Extension Tether, Crew Specific Parts, Personal Restraint Tethers, and Cargo Tie-Down Straps. It includes requirements for materials, fabrication, construction, labeling, and testing, as well as verification methods for first article and conformance inspection. The document also provides notes on the intended use, acquisition requirements, and definitions.
The related federal contract opportunity is a pre-solicitation notice for a new five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm fixed price contract to procure Aircrew Combat Equipment (ACE) for the US Army, and potentially the US Air Force and US Navy. The acquisition strategy is a 100% small business set-aside, with a Best Value Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation approach. The ACE includes an aircrew survival equipment vest, a quick release tether system, and a flotation device.

The SRT is a tether that connects from helicopter attachment points to the front of the Primary Survival Gear Carrier (PSGC) for aircrew external restraint or self-extraction.
The Quick-Release Extension Tether (QRET) Assembly (see Figure 1) connects from the PSGC to the Personal Restraint Tether w/Swivel (PRTS) (Long Modified, Short Modified, Long and Short only) for crew retention. The QRET Assembly consists of a Quick Release Extension Tether (QRET), a Retaining Loop Abrasion Cover (RLAC) designed to reduce wear and abrasion on the PSGC’s aft retaining loop, two locking carabiners and a QRET Handle Cover.
This tether assembly is NOT compatible with the PRTS (Regular).
The Quick Release Tether (QRT) connects from the Aircrew Combat Equipment (ACE) Vest/Harness to the Personal Restraint Tether, Attenuating (PRTA) (Long and Short) for crew retention. The QRT assembly consists of a Handle Cover and QRT subassembly.
The -1 CSP includes a tether assembly that connects from the PSGC to the helicopter crew retention harness. The -1 CSP consists of an extension tether (ET) and an RLAC. The ET includes a locking carabiner attached at one end with the “V” ring at the other end of the webbing. This assembly is ONLY compatible with the PRTS (Regular). The -N-2 Crew Specific Kit (CSK) includes a tether assembly that connects from the ACE Vest/Harness to the helicopter crew retention harness. The -N-2 CSK includes a QRT, ET, and a retention carabiner (see Figure 2). The ET is two feet long for general operations with two alternatives and is available in a three-foot length for Medic missions.
The PRTS (Regular) is a tether that connects from the helicopter cabin anchorage point to the crewmember’s Extension Tether or survival vest. The PRTS (Regular) consists of a self-locking swivel hook, webbing, adjuster, and quick-fit ejector snap. NOTE: The PRTS (Regular) is no longer authorized for new procurements and should not be used with the QRET or QRT.
The PRTS (Long Modified, Short Modified, Long and Short) are each a tether for connection from the helicopter cabin anchorage point to the crewmember’s QRET Assembly. The PRTS (Long Modified, Short Modified, Long and Short) each consists of a self-locking swivel hook, webbing, adjuster, and parachute harness D-ring.
The PRTAs (Long and Short) are each a tether for connection from the helicopter cabin anchorage point to the crewmember’s QRT Assembly. The PRTAs (Long and Short) each consist of a self-locking swivel hook, webbing, load attenuation component, adjuster, and parachute harness D-ring.
The ES is a tether that connects from the helicopter hoist to the front lifting straps on the PSGC or to the front hoist strap on the ACE Vest/Harness for extraction of aircrew.
The Snap and Loop Strap is not currently fielded.
The Cargo Tie-Down Strap, Shackle Strap, and Double Loop Strap are used with the SKRAM.
Different combinations of these straps are used depending on the airframe and attachment location of the SKRAM. The Cargo Tie-Down Strap is made from the Base Subassembly, Ring Subassembly, and three Non-Locking Carabiners (see Figure 3). The Shackle Strap is laced into the Go Bag and is used to secure the Double Loop Strap. The Double Loop Strap is used in conjunction with the Shackle Strap to secure SKRAM components in the cabin of the UH-60 and in the aft electronics bay of the OH-58D. The Shackle Strap and Double Loop Strap combination is used to secure the Hydration Carrier in the AH-64. The Cargo Tie-Down Strap is used to secure all SKRAM components in the CH-47.
