The Indian Air Force (IAF) has tested BHISM portable cubes at Agra for airdrops from the aircraft. This is the first time the IAF tested this portable hospital. This test was performed so the portable hospital could be deployed to cater to emergencies everywhere. 

An IAF C-130 aircraft did a trial para-drop of Arogya Maitri Disaster Brick as part of the test. An innovation aiding swift disaster relief by being para dropped, these 'bricks' contain essential survival material for disaster stuck locations unreachable by other means. The trial was undertaken in coordination with an Army Para Field Hospital and was witnessed by Air Mshl Rajesh Vaidya, DGMS (Air), Chairman of Arogya Maitri Task Force. The accurate drop ensured no damage to the contents, marking a successful trial.

The potable cubes are part of the broader initiative named "Project BHISHM"—Bharath Health Initiative for Sahyog, Hita, and Maitri, which is tailored to treat up to 200 casualties, emphasizing rapid response and comprehensive care. Earlier this year, this was deployed in Ayodhya to bolster medical readiness and response capabilities during the upcoming 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony. The Aid Cube is equipped with several innovative tools designed to enhance disaster response and medical support during emergencies. It integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics to facilitate effective coordination, real-time monitoring, and efficient management of medical services in the field.

The whole unit contains 72 easily transportable components that can be conveniently carried by hand, cycle, or even drone, providing unmatched flexibility. In the face of mass casualty incidents (MCIs), where requirements range from basic aid to advanced medical and surgical care, the Aid Cube stands out with its ability to be deployed within an astonishing 12 minutes. This swift deployment capability is crucial, as it effectively bridges the crucial time gap from primary care to definitive care, potentially saving numerous lives in the golden hour of emergencies.

These cubes are robust, waterproof, and light. They are designed for various configurations, making them ideal for diverse emergency scenarios. From airdrops to ground transportation, the cube can be rapidly deployed anywhere, ensuring immediate response capability.
