US XM44 Experimental Prototype The XM44 was a mask developed for the Soldier Integrated Protective Ensemble (SIPE) project. SIPE was an ambitious collection of prototype soldier subsystems; technologies including helmet-mounted displays, new combat uniforms and loadbearing equipment, communication equipment, weapon optics, and a head-to-toe NBC ensemble (SIPE4 as againts MOPP4) to integrate with the mentioned SIPE subsystems. The aim of the SIPE program was to make the individual soldier more effective at identifying targets and communicating with friendly forces as well as making protective gear more comfortable and effective. The mask consisted of a silicone rubber facepiece with close-fitting eyepieces developed to improve the soldier's peripheral vision. Inside the mask, there was a protected drinking tube so that the wearer could hydrate in a contaminated environment, this tube led out to the exhale valve cover. There was also a frontal and side voicemitter, the latter could be switched out to accomidate a filter canister or hose, depending on the wearer's dominant hand. The chemical protective hood was made of butyl rubber-coated nylon cloth that was bonded to a butyl (second skin) in order to protect the wearer from chemical and biological droplets/aerosols and to protect the silicone facepiece in the event that the wearer comes in contact with a mustard agent. There were also outserts designed for the mask, they were very similar in design to the M1 outserts designed for the M17 series protective masks, but were manufactured in the shape of the XM-44 eyelens. The mask for the most part was met with positive feedback from the soldiers testing the new equipment; the at-the-time current M17A2 being used as a reference point. A particular complaint brought up was the tightness of the close-fitting hood which didn't allow for donning in the same timeframes as standardized by the M17 series masks. The XM44 also featured an inline blower system that was worn on the back. The blower, while well received by the soldiers in testing, was not used much as it was reported to violate noise parameters. Problems arose also as the XM44 was integrated with the new helmet system and associated helmet-mounted display, which put considerable weight downwards onto the mask facepiece, in turn causing discomfort and fogging problems. All in all though, these were merely cases of poor design of the other subsystems and not technically the fault of the mask. Nonetheless, it is entirely obvious that the relative success of the facepiece heavily influenced the design of the XM45 and the final M45 product. Special thanks goes to Rick Adams for giving me the chance to own this magnificent piece of American Gas Mask History. http://gasmaskandrespirator.wikia.com/wiki/US_XM-44_Prototype_Series http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a261443.pdf https://www.facebook.com/groups/GMCCgasmaskcollectorscommunity/search/?query=xm44

ILC Dover XM44 Experimental Protective Mask

Development beginning in the late 1980's, the XM44 Series Masks were originally intended to replace all the different gas masks in service at the time (M17A2, M40, MCU-2/P, ABC-M24, M25/M25A1, M43 Type II, etc.), but would ultimately be sidelined as an aircrew mask program (XM45).

The XM44/45 would ultimately be redesigned with ultrasonic welded plastic components between 1992-1995 and would be adopted as the Mask, Chemical-Biological, M45 in 1998.

There is also good evidence to believe Special Operations Forces had been testing the XM44 series since their introduction.

Far from complete and somewhat of a Frankenstein example, my specimen is sadly missing the nosecup valve and blanking plugs as well as being a size large while the hood is a small/medium.

If anyone is looking to trade a medium for a large facepiece or just has a medium facepiece to let go of, feel free to give me or @bureau-of-mines a shout.
