What Does OBOGS Stand For?

OBOGS stands for Onboard Oxygen Generating System

OBOGS, or Onboard Oxygen Generating System, is a technology used primarily in military and some civilian aircraft to provide a continuous supply of breathable oxygen to pilots and crew at high altitudes. The system generates oxygen from the surrounding air using chemical processes, ensuring a reliable source of oxygen without the need for heavy tanks or external supplies. OBOGS enhances flight safety and performance by supporting optimal physiological conditions for crew members during demanding flight operations.
