This contract involves conducting comprehensive testing and analysis to verify that a pilot mask can withstand rapid decompression pressure spikes of 45 mm Hg or less and endure windblast forces up to 600 KEAS during ejection, ensuring the safety of the pilot. The evaluation process will utilize various advanced methods and facilities, including wind tunnels, computational modeling, and specialized test equipment such as the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) centrifuge, to simulate the extreme conditions experienced during emergency ejection scenarios. The subcontract is being managed under the Department of Defense with performance located in Natick. It focuses on scientific and technical consulting services within the NAICS code 541690. Interested parties must respond by June 5, 2026, and the effort aims to provide critical data to improve mask design and ejection survivability, mitigating injury risks to pilots under rapid decompression and high-velocity windblast conditions.
