HARAS - THE HISTORY

The HARAS (Height Adjustable Rescue Assault System) was concieved in response to two tactical operations which occurred in Europe and the USA during the mid 1990's; the tragic Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) raid in Waco, Texas in May 1993, and the rescue of the hijacked Air France plane in Marseilles, France in December 1994.

At Waco, four BATF agents were killed when gunfire erupted as they climbed ladders to reach the second floor of the building.† Encumbered by their tactical gear and body armor, the agents slowly climbed, with both their hands and feet occupied by the ladders, and their guns still in their holsters.  In Marseilles, the GIGN assault team lost the critical element of surprise when the team had to use airport stairway trucks to access the hijacked plane's doors.  As a result of the slow initial assault, 9 members of the assault team were seriously wounded in the ensuing battle to take back the plane.

Immediately after these widely publicized incidents, tactical operators the world over began searching for an innovative product to solve the long-standing tactical problem of getting operators safely into an eleveted target, while maintaining tactical readiness and the essential elements of speed and surprise.

The following operational requirements were considered for such a product:

- eliminate the reliance on ladders

- transport up to 20 operators to the elevated target simultaneously for unit cohesion and effectiveness

- maintain speed and surprise

- reach all commercial airplane doors

- access narrow streets

- 360° intervention capability

- deliver operators over fences or other barriers

- transportable by air

The first system in the world to meet these requirements  was concieved in 1996, and was in use operationally by 1998. Its name: H.A.R.A.S, the Height Adjustable Rescue and Assault System
