Life Support Systems
Abstract
This program is a human-centered program providing RDT&E recapitalization of aircrew flight equipment and airman combat systems. Air Force acquisition teams lead the upgrade and fielding of new equipment/systems by assessing deficiencies in existing equipment, conducting business case analyses, evaluating existing technologies or developing new technologies, assessing commercially available products for combat use, and conducting required Safe-to-Fly (STF) tests and certifications. Program efforts include, but are not limited to, the following projects: directed energy protective equipment; flight helmets and visors; oxygen breathing systems for aircrew; radios and locator beacons; support equipment; nuclear flash blindness protection; night vision devices; noise reduction devices; anti-gravity (anti-G) suits; flame resistant, retardant and blast protective gear; aircraft seating; impact protection equipment; flotation devices; parachutes; ejection seats; and other life support systems required by the warfighter. BA 5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
