Summary/Abstract: Every year Bosnia-Herzegovina is affected by the various incidents of inclement weather, floods or other natural disasters requiring helicopter support and evacuation. Besides BH Armed Forces, the availability of multirole search-and-rescue helicopters is almost non-existent. Coupled with the aging of current communication systems and lack of integrated communications and other support systems, Bosnia-Herzegovina should seriously consider allocating the necessary resources to create a dedicated helicopter rescue force and improve the state and interoperability of its communications systems.
