Avon Protection is pleased to announce the launch of its next-generation tactical SCBA, the ST54, specifically developed for the tactical operator.

The ST54 was designed and built for the global tactical SCBA operator, delivering state of the art scalable respiratory protection in the most austere of environments.

Protection From Threat

ST54 combined with FM54 mask provides an advanced modular breathing apparatus Combined with Avon Protection's FM54 mask, the system provides an advanced modular breathing apparatus to enable positive pressure SCBA and/or PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) capability across the spectrum of CBRN operations and in the most demanding of tactical scenarios.

The ST54 enables an immediate response to change operational conditions in one complete modular system, rapidly selecting the most appropriate level of protection for the threat and operational environment.

Hybrid System

Drawing its DNA from the field-proven, revolutionary ST53, the next-generation has been optimized as a future-proofed hybrid system, providing operational flexibility, with exceptional comfort and durability.

The system has recently received NIOSH Industrial approval and forms part of the sole-source contract to supply the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) with the M53A1 mask and AvonAir modular powered air system, ST54, and related accessories, awarded earlier.

Comfortable, Durable, Tactical

Justin Hine, Global Military Product Manager said, “The ST53 is already proven in service worldwide, including most recently with UK police. Building on this platform to deliver the ST54 enables us to provide users with the most comfortable, durable, fully integrated tactical SCBA on market.
