Parachutist Oxygen Delivery System (PODS) Prototype

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center (DEVCOM SC) is seeking a Parachutist Oxygen Delivery System (PODS) prototype to support military free fall operations. The system should be capable of delivering oxygen to parachutists during pre-breathe, jump, and landing phases. The proposed solution should meet specific performance requirements, including reliability, confidence, and compatibility with existing equipment. The project will involve various phases, including developmental testing, operational testing, and production. The vendor will be required to deliver specific components, including Parachutist Oxygen Masks, Individual Oxygen Sources, and test devices. The proposal should include a description of the relevant technology, scope of work, and anticipated cost. • The system should be capable of delivering oxygen at high altitudes, up to 35,000 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). • The system should be compatible with existing parachutist equipment, including the Advanced Ram Air Parachute System (RA-1). • The system should meet specific performance requirements, including reliability, confidence, and compatibility. • The vendor will be required to deliver specific components, including Parachutist Oxygen Masks, Individual Oxygen Sources, and test devices. • The proposal should include a description of the relevant technology, scope of work, and anticipated cost.
