INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION (ACD&P)
Abstract
This project supports the ACD&P of the Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM) Advanced Respiratory Protection Initiative (ARPI), an improved filtration and protection capability against highest priority Toxic Industrial Chemical (TIC) threats. It addresses a current and significant capability gap to the operating force. The effort is supported by the Capabilities Production Document for the JSGPM, which outlines the need for a robust TIC/TIM protection capability. It is expected that new capabilities demonstrated through the activities in this project will be leveraged and integrated into future increments of UIPE. This Project also supports the Lightweight Chemical Biological Ensemble (LCBE) (renamed the Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble (UIPE)), aimed at improving current protection levels while reducing physiological and logistical burdens. The goal is to provide equipment that allows the individual soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine to operate in a contaminated Chemical and Biological (CB) environment with no or minimal degradation to his/her performance.
