INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION (ACD&P)
Abstract
This project includes the development of next generation individual protective ensembles (e.g., suits, boots, and gloves) which enable the Joint Force to survive and continue the mission in chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) contaminated environments. Efforts included in this project are: (1) the Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble (UIPE) Increment 2 (2) the Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble Family of Systems (UIPE FoS) In FY19, CBRN UIPE Increment 2 (UIPE 2) will transition to CBRN UIPE FoS. This is reflected not only in the name change but in the structure of the program. The program is designed to meet mission area needs, not individual Service needs. There are four Mission Areas: Land, Air, Sea, and Homeland Defense. Each of the Mission Areas has unique mission requirements that the UIPE FoS solutions will seek to fulfill. (2) the Tactical All-Hazards Threat Protective Ensemble (TATPE) will be a subset to the UIPE FoS and capitalize on the protection factor of commercial Level A with design modifications to align with the necessary operational imperatives to eliminate this risk paradox. This suit serves as an additional tool in the arsenal until technology matures to the point of delivering a similar capability applied against the range of military operations in all environments under all conditions. UIPE FoS will develop a family of systems that will provide the broad spectrum of users individual percutaneous protective equipment with the ability to operate in a contaminated environment with no or minimal degradation in performance. UIPE FoS will provide protection from operationally relevant traditional, non-traditional, and advanced chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear/Toxic Industrial Material threats likely to be encountered during joint force operations. TATPE will provide high risk personnel (CBRN and Explosive Ordinance Disposal) increased protection against non-traditional and advanced threat agents during CWMD missions. These missions are representative of chemical production or bulk storage facility defeat, chemical weapon facility defeat, and interdiction or recovery of chemical weapons/devices while in transit.
