Having spent time at the PEO Air Soldier program office in Huntsville AL, I found out that the there is a ditch kit is the bag that is attached to the helos, either in the cabin or in an externally available compartment. It's been undergoing internal review and enhancement for a few years. The SKRAM modular piece is part of the ALSE body kit pilots wear during flight operations. My firm was contacted by the PEO to provide assistance in assessing the fit and fitness of of the survival gear. That contract hasn't come thru, yet, but since these program can take 3-5 years to complete I still have hope.
