The final report summariees the development of the XM 15 collective protection (CP) equipment for the M577 and M577A1 command post carriers. Development effort was divided into four phases covering design, equipment fabrication, testing, and conclusion of contract performance. The XM15 CP equipment was developed to provide positive-pressure chemical and biological collective protection for the M577 and M577A1 command post carriers. Major components of the XM15 CP equipment include a 250 cfm gas-particulate filter unit (GPFU) that supplies purfied air to pressurize the vehicle interior, a precleaner that removes the majority of particulate matter from air entering the GPFU, a pressure control network that regulates and monitors the air supply output of the GPFU, and a protective entrance that enables personnel to safely enter and leave the vehicle while in a contaminated environment. The XM15CP equipment operates on 27.5 V dc supplied by the vehicle. (Buehn)
