1.9 EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES (CONT). 1.9.2 Capabilities. Interchangeable nosecups (five sizes) can be installed to improve fit, comfort, and vision. Front and side voicemitters are used for face-to-face and phone communication. Drink tube allows soldier to drink while wearing the mask. Filter canister has interoperability with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Compatible with optical sighting/night vision devices. Optical inserts provide vision correction.
1-6
1.9.3 Features. Major features of the mask are the silicone rubber faceblank, which provides a seal against CB agents, a canister which filters particulate matter and agents from the air, front and side voicemitters which transmit the users voice outside the facepiece, and a drink tube which allows the user to drink while wearing the mask. 1.10 EQUIPMENT DATA. Weight (with carrier) 4.3 lbs (1.92 kg) Dimensions (in carrier) 12 x 11.5 x 5 in (30.5 x 29.2 x 12.7cm) SECTION III. THEORY OF OPERATION 1.11 PROTECTION THEORY. The M45 Land Warrior protects the head, neck, face, and respiratory tract of the soldier from chemical and biological agents and other particles. Protection is provided by the agent-resistant facepiece, second skin, and hood. Although all three components protect the soldier against CB agents in gaseous form, the second skin and hood provide increased liquid agent protection. The facepiece protects the respiratory system of the soldier by filtering contaminated air while maintaining an airtight seal against the face. All outside air is forced to enter the canister, which filters chemical and biological agents before entering the facepiece. The facepiece maintains a facial seal using a system of valves that open and close during inhalation and exhalation. 1-7
1.11 PROTECTION THEORY (CONT) 1.11.1 Inhalation. As a soldier inhales, a facial seal is maintained by the outlet valve closing on the outlet valve housing. The vacuum causes outside air to pass through the canister, which filters the contaminated air. Filtered air then travels past the inlet valve disk into the faceblank eye cavity. Once in the eye cavity, the filtered air flows over the inside of the eyelenses to reduce fogging and past the nosecup valves into the nosecup. Some air may enter the nosecup by flowing between the nosecup and the nose/chin area, but most will enter through the nosecup valve disks. Once the filtered air enters the nosecup, the air enters the soldier's respiratory system.
1-8
1.11.2 Exhalation. As the soldier exhales, the inlet valve disk seats against the inlet valve gasket to prevent the soldier from inhaling exhaled air. Also, the nosecup valve disks seat against the nosecup seats to prevent exhaled air from entering the eye cavity which results in fogging of the eyelenses. Exhaled air is then directed to the outlet valve disk, which is forced open. The overall result of the outlet valve disk opening the nosecup and inlet valve disks closing is that the facial seal is maintained. Exhaled air flows past the outlet valve disk and into the outlet valve cover, where it is directed outside the mask.
1-9
1.11 PROTECTION THEORY (CONT) 1.11.3 Additional Features. The M45 Land Warrior Mask also provides the user with face-to-face, phone and platform communication capabilities as well as a drinking capability. Face-to-face and phone communication is provided by voicemitters, which contain grills and thin membranes. The grill protects the membrane, which allows sound to pass through it but not CB agents. Ground communication is provided by a microphone and microphone cable, which connect at the outlet valve housing. The microphone cables may be connected to the platform helmet to interface with communication systems. The drinking system consists of internal and external drink tubes. When connected to the M1 canteen cap, the external drink tube coupling plunger is pushed back by the cap pin. This creates an opening in the coupling, so that liquid may pass through it and into the soldier's mouth via the internal drink tube. When not in use, the plunger inside the external drink tube coupling seats to prevent air or liquids from entering the internal drink tube and facepiece.
