INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION (ACD&P)
Abstract
This project supports the ACD&P of the following efforts: The Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM) Advanced Respiratory Protection Initiative (ARPI) will address improved mask protection, filter protection against Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC)/Toxic Industrial Materials (TIM) and improved profile and breathing resistance; and wearability compatibility/integration. This will be accomplished through class-based analysis, Filtration Advanced Screening Test (FAST), desorption study, and advanced CBRN filtration efforts. The Uniform Integrated Protective Ensemble (UIPE) Increment 2 will enhance fielded and emerging individual protective equipment as part of a Family of Systems that enables the Warfighter to operate in a contaminated Chemical and Biological (CB) environment with no or minimal degradation in performance. UIPE is supported by an approved Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). UIPE increment 2 will build on and increase capabilities attained in Increment 1. In addition, Increment 2 will seek to address the broader scope of ICD requirements to include the capability to protect warfighters from operationally relevant traditional, non-traditional, and advanced CBRN/TIM threats likely to be encountered during joint force operations.
