COG-MHS-EC135 Medical Helicopter Rescue Simulator

Delivered fully assembled, configured and ready to operate. Available by quotation only — contact COG to discuss your requirements.

The COG-MHS-EC135 Medical Helicopter Rescue Simulator is a professional training system developed for air medical crews, emergency physicians, nurses, paramedics and rescue technicians operating aboard Airbus EC135 helicopters.

Rather than focusing on pilot instruction, the simulator recreates the medical and operational environment experienced by HEMS crews during real emergency missions. Healthcare professionals develop technical skills, decision-making and team coordination under realistic conditions, without exposing patients or crews to operational risk.

Powered by the Actuon Ecosystem

Motion is delivered by Actuon, the motion control technology COG designs and builds in-house: the Actuon8 motion controller, COG control wiring and the Actuon control layer, driven by Actuon Control Manager Professional Edition, supplied with the system under licence.

Because COG builds the motion hardware, the control electronics and the software, the movement can be tuned to the specific profile of an aeromedical mission rather than adapted from a generic motion library. It also means one supplier is responsible for the whole motion chain.

Train for the most demanding emergencies

Medical personnel can repeatedly practise every stage of an aeromedical mission. Every scenario can be repeated, analysed and refined, enabling consistent improvement in clinical performance and teamwork.

A realistic helicopter environment

Unlike conventional medical simulators, the COG-MHS-EC135 recreates the specific challenge of delivering critical care inside a helicopter. Crews train while experiencing:

• Aircraft vibration
• Motion during take-off and landing
• Banking manoeuvres
• Hover operations
• Turbulence
• Wind effects
• Limited working space
• Noise and communication challenges
• Reduced visibility scenarios
• High workload situations

This prepares crews for the physical and cognitive demands of a real mission, not just the clinical procedure.

Crew resource management

Successful aeromedical missions depend on communication and coordination between every member of the crew. The simulator puts the whole team in the same cabin, working the same scenario, under the same constraints.

Instructor station and scenario control

The Instructor Station gives instructors control over every variable in the exercise. Weather conditions, mission profiles and patient conditions can be modified dynamically while the scenario runs.

Safe, repeatable and cost effective

Training aboard operational helicopters is expensive, weather dependent and limited by aircraft availability. The COG-MHS-EC135 allows unlimited training hours without:

• Aircraft operating costs
• Fuel consumption
• Flight scheduling limitations
• Weather constraints
• Operational interruptions
• Risk to patients or crews

Institutions can increase training frequency while reducing operational expenditure.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a pilot training device?
No. The COG-MHS-EC135 trains medical crews, not pilots. It is not a certified flight training device and does not provide certifiable flight hours.

What motion technology does it use?
Actuon, COG's own motion control technology, with Actuon Control Manager Professional Edition supplied under licence with the system.

Can it be configured to our protocols?
Yes. The system is configured to match your operational protocols, equipment and clinical procedures.

Is a PC included?
No. The host PC is not included.

How is it delivered?
Fully assembled and configured, ready to operate.

How do we get a price?
Each system is specified around your operation. Contact COG for a tailored quotation.
