INTRODUCTION; A requirement has been stated by the USAP Special Operations Pores (SOP) for a protective mask to be worn by crew members - 0 * UC-123 aircraft while conducting aerial spray operations. Toxicity QQof many apray agents dictate that protection be provided for the eyes, face and respiratory system. The mask must be light, comfortable, compatible with safety of flight and must not Interfere with performance of crew duties. The M24 Protective Assembly will be evaluated to satisfy this requirement. 2. DESCRIPTION; The M24 Assembly consists of: a. The M24 Aircraft Protective Mask (1) Small, PSN 4 4 - 0 - 7 9 208889 (2) Medium, PSN 4 4 - 7 - 3 4 207648 (3) Large, PSN 4 4 - 0 - 7 8 208889 b. M7 Protective Hood, PSN 4 4 - 2 - 6 5 200189 c. Ml Coupling Device, PSN 4240-300-6457 d. MS Oxygen Supply Adapters, PSN 4 4 - 4 - 0 4 208867 e. M10A1 Canisters, PSN 4 4 - 2 - 1 6 201778 The mask was designed for use by US Army aircrewmen during flight and away from th* aircrax to provide respiratory protection against CB agents. It has a clear plastic mono-lens and is compatible with flight equipment. The mask utilises a hose-connected M10A1 canister and incorporates an MU6 dynamic microphone to make it compatible with radio systems in aircraft. The oxygen adapter permits use of this mask with the aircraft oxygen system. The hood is made from butylcoated nylon cloth and provides head and neck protection when affixed to the M24 mask. Operation and maintenance instructions are contained in US Army Technical Manual TM3-4240-219-15. �3. PURPOSE: The objective of this project is to evaluate the comfort, compatibility with flight safety and interference with crew duty performance of tb« M24 Protective Ateeably. 4.
