Right and left slew grips, mounted on the console to provide sensor control.
The Ambidextrous Cursor Grip is designed for applications where there is not sufficient room for both right and left slew grips. This single control is suitable for use by the right or left hand and mounts on the console between the seats for use by both pilot and co-pilot.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon Sidestick Control Grip is the main pilot/aircraft interface for flight, avionics and armament systems. Manufactured of precision cast aluminum, this grip is resistant to environmental conditions per MIL-STD-810. The stick grip provides a variety of single and multi-function switch assemblies for flight control, autopilot override, nosewheel steering, aerial refueling, display management, air-to-ground weapon release, and a two-stage trigger for air-to air weapons release.
The Telescoping Control Stick (TCS) Grip is used to control the refueling boom on the Boeing KC-46 Tanker.
The IA-63 Throttle Grip is machined from high-strength aluminum alloy casting and contains a two-axis force transducer and several single and multi-function switches used for display cursor control, communications, speedbrakes and weapons system functions.
Essex manufactures some of the most complex human-machine interface controls for the most advanced ground, and air combat vehicles in the world.
The Cryogenic Relief Valve series is designed for use on Air Force and Navy liquid oxygen converters as well as other cryogenic systems. Valves are vailable in a wide range of pressure settings to accommodate a variety of system requirements. Meets all MIL-PRF-9050 requirements. Stainless steel ball and a Teflon seat arrangement provides zero leakage at re-seat pressures. ANPT threaded inlet and outlet ports, internal filter and corrosion resistant steel construction.
The Anti-Gravity Valve (Anti-G Valve) is a durable, pneumatic pressure-regulating valve that automatically reacts to positive G-forces acting on the aircraft and crew members. During heavy G-inducing maneuvers, such as a high-speed tight turn or rapid climb, the aircrew blood supply will leave the head and upper extremities. Prolonged exposure to this condition will eventually result in G-induced loss of consciousness, or G-LOC. The Anti-G Valve senses these G-forces and allows ECS-conditioned air to pressurize the pilot’s anti-G suit abdominal and leg bladders to restrict blood from pooling in the lower extremities. When the G-force is relieved, the valve automatically opens, allowing suit pressure to vent back to ambient. Essex Anti-G Valves are QPL-approved to MIL-V-9370, MIL-V-87223 and MIL-V-87255, and can be found in most high-performance US military aircraft as well as trainers, light attack aircraft and combat fighters throughout the world.
The Essex PBE (Protective Breathing Equipment) is a portable, self-contained, personal smoke hood designed to safeguard flight attendants and cabin crewmembers from the effects of smoke, carbon dioxide, harmful gases and oxygen deficiency while managing in-flight fire, smoke or fume emergencies.
The PBE uses compressed aviator grade oxygen as its source of supply to crewmembers. The PBE smoke hood dons in only 15 seconds, with a unique design that eliminates the need for an oral/nasal mask. The amber-tinted hood provides 270° of visibility and the elastic neck seal requires no adjustment. The PBE provides 15 minutes of oxygen and one size fits most adults.
The Essex PBE (Protective Breathing Equipment) is a proven design that has been in service worldwide in commercial aviation fleets since 1989. This lightweight smoke hood is used by 90% of the commercial airline Industry in the United States, as well as many major international airlines.
System Design
The oxygen system in the Essex PBE (Protective Breathing Equipment) consists of two oxygen cylinder assemblies mounted to the bottom side of the neck seal. Special fabric and chemical panels inside the hood keep carbon dioxide concentrations at safe levels during the hood’s service period as the wearer exhales into the hood.
The Essex PBE features a battery-powered green and red light service/end-of-service Indicator. Mounted slightly below eye level on the left inner side of the hood, this light functions as a secondary indicator for monitoring oxygen activation, reassuring the wearer that the equipment is functioning.
The PBE smoke hood is folded and vacuum-sealed in a moisture resistant barrier pouch equipped with a replace by date label and an internal humidity indicator.
Essex Protective Breathing Equipment (PBE) requires very little stowage space and has the lightest stowage and end use weight. Several different stowage options are available.
The Essex PBE has the following approvals:

The Next Generation Portable Therapeutic Liquid Oxygen System (NPTLOX) is a low pressure portable 20.0 liter liquid oxygen storage and gaseous delivery system, capable of supplying up to 17,200 gaseous liters of oxygen at a maximum flow rate of 66 liters per minute at 50 psig. The unit features six quick disconnect outlet ports and comes with an accessory kit containing three 20 foot medical grade hoses, three flow control valves, three humidifier bottles, and three quick disconnect adapters. With six flow control valves attached, it can deliver oxygen to six patients at flow rates from .5 to 15 liters per minute. The quick disconnect outlet ports can also supply 50 psi of oxygen to other medical devices or to oxygen regulators for additional patients. The NPTLOX has been successfully tested to work in tandem with commonly used ventilators. Weighing 155 pounds when full, the NPTLOX can be carried by two ground support personnel using the four-position locking handles. It can also be mounted in an aircraft. The NPTLOX requires no external power and uses just two 9-Volt batteries for the quantity indicator. The system has been tested to MIL-STD-810.
