The Helicopter Aircrew Integrated Life Support System (HAILSS) Program is a U.S. Navy led effort that began in April 1997 at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Patuxent River, MD. The main contractor is Gentex Corporation, Carbondale, PA. The HAILSS ensemble provides CB, anti-exposure and fire protection in single 2-layered impermeable garment, greatly reducing the layers of clothing currently required. Since no comparable system currently exists, it is difficult to compare protection ensembles. However, if you compare the Worst case scenario, up to seven layers of clothing would be required to provide the same level of protection HAILSS offers in just two layers. A more probable comparison of likely worn layers would show a nearly 20% reduction in weight of the HAILSS ensemble versus currently worn systems. |
