Evaluation of an Electronics System Concept for Respiratory Protection System (RESPO 21)

Abstract

The primary objective of this project was to develop a preferred electronics system concept for the RESPO-21 mask. This system concept was assembled and integrated with a lightweight mask for demonstration purposes. The demonstration unit was delivered to CRDEC separately. A secondary task objective was to identify component and subsystem enhancements necessary for the final fielded RESPO-21 system. The electronics system evaluation focused on three areas: communications assist, blower control, and power source. This report summarizes the technical approach and results obtained for each subsystem. An appendix to this report contains a detailed technical discussion and manufacturers' data sheets for selected components of the communications assist, blower, and power supply subsystems.
