Edwards ATC tower offers new ‘way out’ for controllers

Personnel from the Edwards Air Traffic Control tower, along with the Edwards Fire Department and representatives from High Rise Escape Systems, Inc., test out the tower's latest acquisition of a controlled descent device with a mannequin. The HRES is a controlled descent device that is attached to a swing-arm bracket that is capable of lowering individuals safely to the ground, via a harness or oversized evacuation pant suit.
