Customer Driven Uniform Manufacturing (CDUM) (Previously called Apparel Research Network)
Abstract
The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency, purchased over $1.9 billion of clothing and textile items in FY 2012. The lead-time is up to 15 months for these items. The MUST Program will form a community of practice to research and develop knowledge based technologies for a common approach that could be used by the Services, DLA and Industry in the development of item requirements, and production of military uniform and individual equipment items. Starting in FY 15, the MUST program will be initiated. The major focus will be to develop knowledge based capability to access and collaborate on requirements among Services, DLA and Industrial Base. The objective is to reduce the lead time and cost of developing and fielding new combat uniforms and individual equipment.
