NEW LONDON, Conn. -- First Class Cadet Christian Breviario pulls the rescue basket from the water after he and his team tested their design at a simulation facility.

Coast Guard Academy Mechanical Engineering cadets Christian Breviario, Riely Brande, Benjamin Crutchfield, Nolan Richerson and Spencer Smith have been prototyping a new and improved rescue basket, which could revolutionize the way the Coast Guard conducts search and rescue missions onboard the MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters.
