Evaluation of the Diving Systems International Superlite 17B Helmet.

Abstract

The Diving Systems International Superlite 17B helmet was tested by NEDU in accordance with MIL-R-24169A. Results of unmanned testing which evaluated breathing resistance, sideblock pressure drop and breathing work showed that the helmet meets or exceeds all mil spec requirements. The helmet is not recommended for inclusion on the list of equipment Authorized for Navy Use because the U.S.N. currently has no requirement for this type of equipment in addition to its own USN MK I Mod O Mask.
