FLAGSHIP

CRUSOE HP

The world’s first dual-mode tactical rebreather, the CRUSOE HP (Hybrid), is Caeli’s flagship system. It combines closed-circuit stealth with powered air-purifying endurance, allowing operators to switch seamlessly between a fully self-contained loop and filtered ambient air on demand. This adaptability delivers up to 12 hours of continuous operation in multi-hazard environments — from subterranean tunnels and confined spaces, to contaminated disaster zones and CBRN incidents.

Purpose-built for special operations, irregular warfare, and emergency response, CRUSOE HP gives teams unmatched flexibility, reducing logistical burden and maximizing survivability where traditional systems fall short.

Dual-Mode Operation

Seamlessly switch between closed-circuit and PAPR breathing. In hybrid mode the system always maintains positive pressure, preserving oxygen for when you truly need it. This innovation yields up to 12 hours of continuous use, redefining what’s possible in the field.

Hot-Swap Oxygen Magazine

A back-mounted quick-release oxygen unit allows on-the-fly cylinder replacement. Operators can replenish the O₂ supply without removing the mask or breaking cover – a game-changer for continuous operations.

Positive Pressure & Assistive Breathing 

Twin sensor-guided micro-blowers maintain constant positive pressure while reducing breathing resistance. This powered airflow eases breathing under stress and minimizes operator fatigue. An integrated cooling system regulates inhaled air to comfortable temperatures, even during prolonged or high-intensity missions.

Operational Applications & Use

The CRUSOE HP is purpose-built for elite special operations, CBRN units, and Search and Rescue (SAR) teams operating in multi-hazard environments. Its dual-mode endurance makes it ideal for subterranean infiltration, tunnel reconnaissance, urban clearance, and extended CBRN response, while also providing critical protection for first responders in disaster zones, collapsed structures, or toxic industrial sites. Adaptable and mission-flexible, the CRUSOE HP is designed to ensure operators can breathe safely and operate effectively in the most life-threatening conditions.

Digital Monitoring

An integrated digital control panel provides at-a-glance status of critical parameters – remaining oxygen, scrubber life, battery levels, and system health. This heads-up awareness lets the operator focus on the mission with confidence in their life support.

Rugged & Fire-Resistant

Built for harsh conditions, the CRUSOE HP’s housing and breathing hoses are sleeved in fire-resistant Kevlar® to protect against heat and exothermic chemical reactions. The unit is waterproof and shock-tested, ready for battlefield, subterranean, or high-heat environments.
