Quickdraw2 Interrogator

Quickdraw2 Combat Search and Rescue Interrogator

Turn any aircraft into a Combat Search and Rescue aircraft.

The handheld General Dynamics Quickdraw2™ Interrogator quickly plugs into the intercom system of virtually any aircraft, both rotor and fixed-wing, transforming it into a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) platform. The Quickdraw2 Interrogator is more flexible and much more economical than existing radios/interrogators built into aircraft.

The Quickdraw2 interrogates the HOOK2 AN/PRC-112G, B1 or HOOK3 Combat Survival Radio via the aircraft’s onboard UHF line-of-sight radio via the aircraft’s onboard UHF line-of-sight radio. Field-tested and operational on a variety of deployed aircraft, the Quickdraw2 Interrogator has also been flight certified by the U.S. Navy.

Encrypted, direct, cockpit to survivor communications (TAC)

Plug-and-play on over 50 different aircraft, including surveillance and C2 aircraft

Displays survivor GPS coordinates in multiple formats

Databurst interrogations minimize exposure to enemy forces

Quickdraw2 functionality embeddable in other systems

Flight certified by the U.S. Navy for use aboard F-35 aircraft

General Dynamics Quickdraw2 Handheld GPS Interrogator has completed electromagnetic compatibility testing and has been flight certified by the U.S. Navy for use aboard F-35 Lightning II aircraft.

The GPS Interrogator can be quickly attached via a single cable to the existing intercom system of the F-35 without modifying the aircraft’s electronics, transforming it instantly into a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) aircraft.

Features

Rescue air crews can find survivors faster using the Quickdraw2 to interrogate an HOOK2 PRC-112G or HOOK3 radio. You receive all the info you need from isolated personnel on the ground: status, threats, and landing zone info.
Turns any aircraft into a CSAR aircraft — You can plug-and-play on over 50 different aircraft without making changes. Just plug the Quickdraw2 into the intercom or headset. The Quickdraw2 has also been flight certified by the US Navy.
Talk directly to the survivor, with secure TAC. Even if the survivor is unable to talk, you can still extract information from their radio.
Focus on the mission, not the radio — Audio and flashing LED alerts let you know when you have a new message. The interrogator also corrects errors and encrypts messages automatically, so you don’t have to. And for those nighttime missions, the Quickdraw2 works with Night Vision Goggles.
Compatible with other systems:
- UHF radios for mobile or fixed applications
- Rockwell Collins RSC-125G Quickdraw-enabled system
- Cubic AN/ARS (6) Version 12 PLS®
