What evr happened to the Canadian sytem [Bear Paw ??] where the helicopter is winched down ?

It looks like the Canadian syatem (Beartrap) has been improved upon and is now called RAST. It was fairly new when I retired nearly 20 years ago, and as a P3 Flight Engineer we never got to use it.

Looks like he had some very strong gusty winds to contend with. But I liked the Garmin 396 map on top of the Instrument Panel. I thought just us bottom feeders down in the Gulf of Mexico did that.
