    Oxygen Cart and Ejection Seat Trainer Brief Summary_v2.docx
    The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Support Division (NAWCTSD) proposed the creation of mock-up training equipment for the Aviation Structural Mechanic Safety Equipment (AME) A School. Specifically, the initiative focuses on a simulated Oxygen (O2) Servicing Cart and Ejection Seat Trainer tailored to train students in servicing a Seat Survival Kit SKU-10/A. The cart should mirror the original O2 servicing cart by Epsilon Solutions but be constructed from lighter materials, clearly marked as "For Training Purposes Only." The mock-up design incorporates various components allowing for a staged simulation of replenishing the seat kit. This includes a controlling PC, displays for tank pressures, and interactive elements like buttons, with safety feedback mechanisms such as audible hissing noises to indicate valve operations. The project outlines detailed specifications for both digital and analog inputs/outputs to measure and display system states throughout the training exercises. Overall, this document serves as a request for proposals, aiming to enhance training capabilities while ensuring safety and compliance in the AME educational context.
