The second is some means of shared life support; During extended scuba diving expeditions, “pony bottles” are carried along as a provision of emergency air for diving buddies who may experience malfunctions with their equipment. More cautious divers carry a second, smaller redundant air supply about the diameter of a soda can and the length of your foot called a “spare air”. Triple redundancy has been a dogma for aerospace engineering and marine engineering since the dawn of both disciplines. In the MDRS simsuits this capability would be simple to add; A plug located below the power switch and specially marked would permit two suits to share battery power or for one suit’s fans to run directly off the other’s batteries in the event that they are not just low on power but suffering some genuine disconnection between their suit’s power supply and circulation fans. Multiple suits could be daisy chained in this manner and it would make possible valuable exercises for the development of methods to rescue crew members who are low on oxygen or suffering a life support systems malfunction. The addition of low cost usb charged GPS trackers of the sort used today by wary parents to monitor the driving habits of their teenagers[6] would permit the capcom to see on an overhead map of the region exactly where each crew member is in realtime.
