Individual Fire Fighter Communications.

Abstract

The Engineering and Services Laboratory (ESL) conducted an evaluation to fulfill an operational requirments for an individual, two-way communication system for fire fighters. Contracts were initiated in April 1977 to obtain the basic radios and as a result of this procurement action, integrated systems were bought and tested. The accessories included a new type hood, helmet and breathing system. This new hardware was tested because it appeared to offer the greatest potential for satisfying the stated needs of the operational fire protection units within the United States Air Force. The primary objective of this equipment evaluation was to provide a procurement description (specification) of the items of equipment needed to satisfy the operational requirement so that authorization documentation could be developed or revised.
