MICROCLIMATE CONDITIONING
SYSTEMS
MISSIoNTo develop and integrate MicroclimateCooling and Heating Systems for Military,Emergency Response, Commercial, and Medicalapplications
bENEfITS
Heat stress relief for personnelencapsulated in protective clothingsuch as body armor and chemical/biological (CB) protective clothing in hotenvironmentsPersonal body heating in coldenvironmentsIncreased mission durationThermal comfort
TESTIMoNIAlS “…I just got back from my rst ight with it acouple of hours ago. We ew 5.5 hours in 120degrees and it worked awesome. The crewagreed this system is the best thing we've donefor the helicopter since we put a rotor on it!!!”
