"To Life Support International, and all who sail on her. Another LSI contracted program and once again, LSI has done what it said it would do and "on time" (what a great concept), too bad all our suppliers weren't more like you ALL. Thanks for the work thus far, I look forward to working with you all soon."

Background
LSI was tasked to design & manufacture a Survival Aids Container (SAC) that makes maximum use of available space under the Harvard II ejection seat and allows for the incorporation of the best survival equipment available, in keeping with aircrew thermal protection, weight, and volume. It was this SAC configuration and contents that was tested by Martin-Baker, and approved for use. The Harvard II Seat Survival Kit (SSK) is designed to be fitted into a Martin Baker US16LA Seat Bucket.

Bombardier Aerospace has established LSI as supplier for survival aids container (SAC) for long term use in the Harvard II NFTC aircraft and as a direct replacement for the Tulmar supplied SAC.
