Tarmak007 -- An Indian Aerospace & Defence Blog With A Difference By Anantha Krishnan M.: HOSthat! DRDO's DEBEL develops oxygen system for chopper pilots operating at high altitudes; mass production all set to begin
Indias Defense Bioengineering and Electromedical Laboratory (Debel) has developed an oxygen life-support system for helicopter pilots operating at high altitudes.
Debel part of the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) was tasked to develop the system by the Indian air force (IAF) on an urgent basis. Following a quick development and rigorous tests by the Center for Military Airworthiness and Certification, a few prototype systems were delivered to the IAF. Per DRDO policies, the technology is being transferred to three Indian companies, which are gearing up for mass production.
After extended user trials, we were told that the helicopter oxygen system worked satisfactorily, Debel Director V.C. Padaki tells AVIATION WEEK.
