This is another one of the collection of random and unrelated mounted images with no captions.
Fits to the human face like a gasmask, but after that...your guess is as good as mine.

It might be an instrument only flight hood. Not sure but the military makes pilots learn to fly with no reference other than instruments. That's probably not the correct name for it though
it looks like now you pull the whole covering part over the head. it's wrong side out, secure the face mask, pull the hood over then you commence to your duties. a large vapor leak needs a valve wheel turned tighter (the yellow one not the orange or red ones) with a big monkey wrench, way down in the chambers with pipes and nozzles and dials and gauges and flashing red lights and drips and puddles of foggy liquids that look like dry ice.
I think a gas mask and hood, with the hood turned inside out to show how the mask is put on first. The dummy also appears to be wearing special overalls. Mustard "gas", (actually an oily mist that blisters the skin) and nerve gas (which can absorbed through the skin) are tough weapons to defend against.

Air bag gone wrong?
I admire Marshall O's mighty gifts of observation, visualization, lucidity, and dang fine writing.
Marshall's explanation is much better than the one I came in with, "Portable Field-Wearable Darkroom for Military Photojournalists."
I think I like MARSHAL's idea, it's inside out and has to be pulled over the head! No other pictures to confirm though...
