Helicopter Aircrew Integrated Life Support System (HAILSS) Aircraft Integration Tests

Abstract

The Helicopter Aircrew Integrated Life Support System (HAILSS) ensemble is an impermeable coverall designed for protection in the Chemical and Biological threat arena. Additionally, the garment can be used as an anti-exposure system because the impermeable fabric effectively makes the garment a dry suit. It has booties sewn and sealed at the ankles and butyl rubber neck and wrist seals. The system employs a mesh spacer material that provides for conditioned air flow through the garment with one-way check valves on each lower sleeve for conditioned air exhaust. The entire ensemble is worn over a skin tight moisture wicking underwear. The systems is provided with protective head gear including a modified HGU-56/P two-part helmet with an integrated hood that provides for goggle demisting and aviator respiration.
