Customer Driven Uniform Manufacturing (CDUM) (Previously called Apparel Research Network)

Abstract

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency, spends upwards of $2 billion per year on military uniforms and individual equipment. The lead-time is up to 15 months for these items. The CDUM program concluded in October 2014 and continuing CDUM projects have been transitioned into the Military Uniform System Technology (MUST) Program. The Military Uniform System Technology (MUST) Program was initiated in 4th quarter 2014. The strategic objective of the DLA Military Uniform System Technology (MUST) Program is to identify, adapt, and adopt technologies that can significantly reduce the lead-time from development to sustainment from years to months or weeks for the military uniforms and individual equipment. The Program focuses on quick-reaction and technologies that will transform the military uniform supply chain from a two-dimensional (2D), manual environment into a three-dimensional (3D), digital environment. The resulting knowledge based system will develop a neutral platform that will seamlessly communicate military uniform requirements to the military uniform industrial base.
