Female Airmen Equipment

Abstract

Female Fitment within Human Systems Division (HSD) of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center develops and sustains organizational clothing and individual equipment (OCIE) & personal protective equipment (PPE) for female Airmen to enhance mission performance while improving safety and survival. HSD aligned Female Fitment as a top priority, matching CSAF vision, and ensures that the fullest extent of the AF female anthropometric range is incorporated into all of its programs. Outreach with other AF organizations and sister services ensures that requirements are collected to vector current and future programs. Anthropometric data collection ensures that these programs produce the OCIE and PPE that will allow women to perform their best in the missions they are assigned. OCIE and PPE for female aircrew includes, but is not limited to, the development and refinement of flight suits, bladder relief systems, helmets, ejection seats, G-suits, aircrew body armor, oxygen masks, and feedback mechanisms.
