Once completed, the backpack will serve as an oxygen tank storage device for situations where a contained oxygen supply is required. It is compatible with all standard OCESS [[Helmet|helmets]]. Each tank contains 5 minutes of breathable air, for a total of 10 minutes in a single backpack (two tanks).
