TacMed Phantom Litter
A 15 oz poleless litter that mounts inside body armor — personal CASEVAC at near-zero space cost.
What is the TacMed Phantom Litter? An ultra-compact poleless evacuation platform (NSN 6530-01-608-4441) weighing just 15 oz in its internal-mount configuration, attaching directly to body armor or a plate carrier without consuming vest real estate. Unfolding to 65 × 23 inches with a 450 lb capacity, it serves dual duty as both a casualty litter and a casualty equipment bag after transfer to a standard litter.

What It Is
The TacMed™ Phantom Litter is an advanced solution to the individual soldier's evacuation challenge: carrying a capable litter without sacrificing kit space, vest real estate, or weight allocation needed for primary mission equipment. At just 15 oz in its internal-mount configuration, packing to a 10 × 7 × 1.5 inch profile, the Phantom is less than a third of the weight of any comparably capable platform — and it is designed to mount inside body armor systems.
The internal version was designed to fit inside the Eagle Industries Modular Body Armor Vest (MBAV) and the Special Forces plate carrier with cummerbund — two of the most common body armor systems in use by U.S. special operations forces. The Phantom carrier mounts behind other vest components without interfering with magazine, radio, or hydration access, and other equipment can be mounted directly over it, making the litter effectively invisible in the operator's kit profile. This lets every individual on a small team carry personal CASEVAC capability without net weight or space cost.
The dual-function design provides secondary utility after the casualty is transferred to a standard litter: the Phantom bag can then hold the casualty's combat equipment, sensitive items, personal effects, and weapons to minimize loss during evacuation — a meaningful operational and accountability benefit in complex casualty scenarios. Eight grab handles and a 1.5-inch friction-buckle strap provide flexible carry across personnel heights and configurations, and the 450 lb rated capacity (tested to 500 lb static for 24 hours without damage) ensures structural integrity under all patient weights.
