Individual Protection (ACD&P)
Abstract
This project includes the development of next generation individual protective ensembles (e.g., suits, boots, and gloves) that enable the Joint Forces to survive and continue the mission in Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) contaminated environments. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble Family of Systems (UIPE FoS) (2) UIPE FoS Gloves (3) UIPE FoS General Purpose (GP) (i.e. Land) UIPE FoS will develop a family of systems that will provide the broad spectrum of users with individual percutaneous protective equipment allowing the ability to operate in a contaminated environment with no or minimal degradation in performance. UIPE FoS will provide protection from operationally relevant traditional and non-traditional CBRN threats likely to be encountered during joint force operations. In FY21, UIPE FoS transitions to UIPE FoS GP (i.e. Land), UIPE FoS Air and UIPE FoS Gloves. The family of systems is being developed based on agreed upon Service Mission Areas of which there are four: Land, Sea, Air, and Homeland Defense. Each of the Mission Areas have unique mission requirements that the combined UIPE FoS solutions will fulfill. The overarching goal of each of the four Mission Areas is to minimize operational burden and provide improved form, fit, function, and integration with the current Warfighter kits compared to legacy systems. UIPE FoS Gloves will provide percutaneous protection to the Warfighter against traditional and non-traditional CBRN threats. UIPE FoS Gloves will provide improved tactility and dexterity, and for some Mission Areas, a touchscreen capability. UIPE FoS GP (i.e. Land) will provide a family of systems that will give the Warfighter percutaneous protection from operationally relevant traditional, non-traditional, and advanced CBRN/Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) threats likely to be encountered during joint force operations.
