Cobham leverages its expertise in gaseous oxygen systems to
design portable oxygen systems that provide extended duration and
increase mission performance. Cobham offers off-the-shelf
portable systems or can configure lightweight composite high
pressure oxygen cylinders and oxygen regulators to customise a
portable system for any application.
Cobham's portable oxygen system can be found on most cargo and
transport aircraft. Combined with the A-21 regulator, the
standard on all US Air Force portable systems, the portable oxygen
system provides a 100%, low pressure oxygen solution to an air
crewmember performing activities while oxygen is required. The
system has four distinct settings, Normal (demand breathing), one
emergency setting and two positive pressure settings corresponding
to the physiological requirements of 30,000 ft. (9,144 m) and
42,000 ft. (12,802 m).

- Multiple refilling options including from aircraft LOX system
or OBOGS systems
