2 AMXDmax Tactical Dehydration - GLOC The AMXDmax eliminates Tactical Dehydration In the last decade alone SD, SA and G-LOC have caused dozens of crashes involving US Military Aircraft Dehydration Major contributing factor SD, SA, and G-LOC

3 AMXDmax Tactical Dehydration - GLOC Tactical Dehydration can be fatal in the cockpit Hydration VS G-Tolerance 100% 80% 60% 97% 40% 60% 20% 0% Hydration G-Tolerance 3% Dehydration 40-50% Reduced G-Tolerance leads to G-LOC reduction in G-Tolerance Proper Hydration is not practiced

4 If you feel thirsty, it s already too late. The thirst mechanism doesn t trigger until 2% dehydration, and is easily overridden 8 Less than cups of water per day causes dehydration under the best circumstances Reduced G-Tolerance Reduced Situational Awareness (SA) Spatial Disorientation(SD) Heat stress Fatigue Reduced Physical and Cognitive Abilities Decreased Ability to make decisions Decreased Attention span Decreased Hand/Eye Coordination

5 AMXDmax Current Safety and Health Issues Piddle Packs and Travel Johns are UNSAFE Piddle Packs are a primary cause of Tactical Dehydration practices. Requires Unstrapping, Unzipping, & Movement in the cockpit Decreases SA Increases SD Increases potential for mishaps Not an option for CBRN or Anti-Exposure Ensemble

6 AMXDmax Current Safety and Health Issues Piddle Packs and Travel Johns are UNSAFE Although we were provided with little piddle-packs, I personally held it for 7 hours as I had planned, [and] I prepared by remaining dehydrated. [ ] Upon arrival [ ] I could barely salute the welcoming Air Force Colonel. John R. Chesire CDR USNR Urinary Retention reduces attention span & ability to make decisions to the same degree as alcohol intoxication or 24 hours of sleep deprivation

7 AMXDmax Current Safety and Health Issues Piddle Packs and Travel Johns are UNSAFE Current Piddle Pack fails Safe-to-Fly Flame Test Current Travel John fails Safe-to-Fly Flame Test

8 AMXDmax Developed with the USAF Designed Specifically to Maximize aircrew Situational Awareness (SA) Non-invasive, fully automatic, hands free, in-flight bladder relief AMXDmax - Weight 4 oz. Easily configured for use with all aircrew ensembles, including anti-exposure suits (poopie suit) and CBRN ensemble. The Cup and Pad are discretely worn under flight gear I was able to stay heads-up, doing a climbing banking turn using the AMXD [to relieve my bladder]. Capt. A-10 Pilot AMXDmax is a proven, effective solution. The system is approved Safe-To-Fly on USAF and USN/USMC aircraft.

9 AMXDmax Developed with the USAF The AMXDmax eliminates Tactical Dehydration Reusable system components provide a cost effective solution Male system Female system (Shown inflated)

10 AMXDmax Developed with the USAF No Risk in Flame Test AMXDmax does not burn Passes Safe-to-Fly Flame Test AMXDmax does not burn Passes Safe-to-Fly Flame Test

11 AMXDmax Developed with the USAF New CBRN and Anti-Exposure through suit connector The AMXDmax optional through suit connector for any ensemble Swivel connection provides easy donning and doffing Allows the system use during mission without compromising suit seal The Cup and Pad are discretely worn, connected inside ensemble

12 AMXDmax Developed for the USAF CBRN Suit Connector is field retrofit able. Outside Suit QCF Fitting SIZE Inside Suit TSF Fitting Inside QCF Fitting Outside Check Valve Cup/Pad Hose Built in one-way Check Valve protects from external environment Installs with a 2-step suit mod, for a secure air/water tight seal. Funding is required to fabricate production representative components to detailed requirements and perform Certified CBRN /Anti-Exposure suit testing.

13 AMXDmax Teach Pilots in Training Develop Proper Hydration Habits from the start of every Pilot s career Hydration currently not properly addressed in flight training Teach student pilots to develop proper hydration habits Ejection Seat Essential Cockpit Equipment training They are first of all focused on what is in front and not the big picture, which is appropriate for the training students Maj.
