LYNNTECH INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: N132-093

Description

Lynntech has developed an innovative mask-on hypoxia training device based on electrochemical oxygen separation to deliver representative pressure-on-demand flow rates to increase hypoxia training fidelity by replicating the air delivery method of aircraft systems. Based on on-going research being conducted, Lynntech’s On-Demand Hypoxia Trainer (ODHT) has demonstrated that additional novel advances with hypoxia training were possible. Specifically, the logistical footprint is reduced and portability is increased by removing the need for compressed gases. This facilitates easy implementation within higher fidelity training simulators with limited space to increase immersive training opportunities.      In the proposed Phase II Expansion project, Lynntech will expand and leverage the results achieved thus far by preparing for additional human subject research testing as well as additional operational testing with the fleet using its ODHT to prepare the technology for acquisition by the PMA-205 Naval Aviation Survival Training Program (NASTP) towards the end of FY18. Successful completion of the proposed work will result in increased understanding of appropriate system design and standard operating procedures, as well as system reliability.
