Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) personnel are being subjected to high ambient temperatures, humidity and radiant heat loads for hours during deployments in the hot dry desert or warm humid tropical environment. The heat stress is even worst while operating the AFV in Nuclear Biological & Chemical (NBC) Protection mode. Maintaining crew 's physical and cognitive performance amidst all of the stressors of the battlefield is a huge tash. However, if the heat stress imposed by exposure to the climatic extremes of the environment can be controlled with the use of a microclimate cooling system then this allows the soldiers to remain focused on other critical tasks. Life Support System (LSS) is an integrated Microclimate and/or Individual Crew Cooling System (ICCS) integrated with NBC Protection system. The use of LSS or LSS that is complimented by Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) on modern AFVs ensures to the mounted soldiers the ability to maintain safe body temperature. This session will discuss the efficiency of LSS and LSS-APU on AFYs.
