The MCD® (Military Compact Descender®) by Tech Safety Lines is a compact bail-out kit designed for military operations. A Berry Amendment-compliant emergency egress system weighing less than two pounds. It supports both self-rescue and assisted rescue, providing a controlled means of descent from elevated environments during emergency situations.
- Kits can be customized to content, length of rope, and packaging
- Single passive braking system
- Kevlar® EXO™ rope that is specifically designed for strength retention in chemical exposures
- High-heat aramid fiber rope with a tensile strength exceeding 5,000 lbs. (2267 kg)
Kevlar® EXO™ Rope
- Kevlar® EXO™ provides an unprecedented combination of strength, flexibility, durability and flame resistance.
- It delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, allowing for lighter and more compact systems without sacrificing protection or durability.
- Its performance and weight are comparable to high-end polyethylene fibers, with the added flexibility and thermal performance of para-aramids.
- Kevlar® EXO™ is significantly stronger than legacy Kevlar®, with increased tenacity, modulus and elongation that produce a substantially improved strength-to-weight ratio.
- It is inherently flame- and temperature-resistant and does not melt.
- Its decomposition temperature is approximately 525°C, or 977°F.
- These properties make Kevlar® EXO™ particularly valuable for military, aerospace, fire-rescue and other extreme operating environments.
DPA Title III allows the federal government to invest in materials, technologies and domestic production capabilities considered essential to national defense. Its purpose is to:
- Expand and protect U.S. manufacturing capacity.
- Reduce dependence on foreign sources.
- Strengthen the resilience of the defense supply chain.
- Ensure long-term access to strategically important materials.
- Support purchases, purchase commitments, and the testing and qualification of Title III-supported materials when authorized under a specific government program or contract.
