The motor blower is lighter and has a better operating time than the M43/M43A1's motor blower. It has a lighter weight, pilot-mounted, motor blower, it does not require an aircraft mounting bracket, and it can operate continuously for 8 hours on a single battery. ERDEC is purchasing motor blowers, hoses, swivels, and straps to retrofit existing M43A1 facepieces to the M48 and M49 configuration. Apache aviator use the M48 mask while the general aviators (all helicopters except Apache) use the M49 mask. The mask provides protection against nuclear, Biological, and chemical agents. The M49 will replace the M24 protective mask, as the general aviator's mask. The M48 will replace the M43 mask and will be worn only by Apache Helicopter Aviators.
