AIR FORCE - MIL-STD-3050A
AIRCREW BREATHING SYSTEM (ACBS)

scope:
This standard establishes requirements for an Aircrew Breathing System (ACBS), incorporating physiological parameters as design criteria for an ACBS used in military aircraft designed for sustained operations below 50,000 ft. In the event that there are requirements not addressed in this standard (such as flight above 50,000 ft.), they should be addressed with the Aircraft Program Office and aerospace physiology experts. The human requirements defined herein should be met by all ACBSs which deliver breathing gas to the masks of aircrew in order to protect them against impaired performance due to adverse physiological states such as hypoxia, hyperoxia, hypercapnia, and hypocapnia. This standard should not presume the aforementioned to be all inclusive. The design criteria should mitigate contamination risk for the crew compartment atmosphere by toxic materials (and should be compatible with equipment or systems used to protect aircrew from chemical warfare agents). ACBSs designs should meet the physiologic standards herein. Integration, certification, and sustainment/maintena
intended Use:
This standard is intended to provide a minimum set of requirements to ensure the safety and effectiveness of ACBS for military and U.S. Government aircraft.
