Key points:

It must be less than 32KG packed and ready to put on an aircraft

Without tanks is fine but it must be able to use a range of localay available tanks 3's 5's 7's AL40s

It must have a totaly indipendent PP02 meter system with manual over-ride that will allow you to compleetly isolate (switch off) the primary electronic control.

Gas Isolation for the 02 to the solinoid which alowes manual injection of 02

It should have forth cell abuility designed in (like the Hammer Head)

Cell an battery access must be quick and easy.

Flood recovery is essential

A HUD which shows reading for each cell (6 LED's) usable on set point or warning mode (Like the URI HUD)

A BOV as standard or as a standard Option

A FFM option

A harnes designed for stage handling

A range of scrubber sizes all usable in the same scrubber housing or even better an adjustable scrubber, 2 hour 4 hour 8 hour duration.

Consideration for mounting torches and small secondary suit inflation or similar would be nice but not essential

Mv output option on the hand sets is essential

VPMB, VPMB-E deco or GF deco options with user setings

Balanced rig or consideration for trim weights for rig

Choice of counterlungs would be nice

Cost 5-6k would be nice but very hopfull, 8K absolute max
