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 and Biological (CB) contaminated environments. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble Family of Systems (UIPE FoS), (2) UIPE FoS Gloves, and (3) UIPE FoS General Purpose (GP) (i.e. Land) The UIPE FoS program is a family of systems that provides 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 provides protection from operationally relevant traditional and non-traditional CBRN threats likely to be encountered during joint force operations. In FY21, UIPE FoS is separated into UIPE FoS GP, UIPE FoS Air and UIPE FoS Gloves. UIPE FoS Gloves provides percutaneous protection to the Warfighter against traditional and non-traditional CBRN threats. UIPE FoS Gloves provides improved comfort, tactility and dexterity, and for some mission profiles advanced features such as touch screen and flame resistance. In FY22 UIPE FoS Gloves will continue prototype development, conduct Early User Tests/Wear events, material and system level testing and initiate and complete operational testing (OT). UIPE FoS GP provides 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. In FY22 UIPE FoS GP will continue prototype development, conduct Critical Design Review (CDR), Joint Independent Logistics Assessment (JILA), and update the Capability Development Document (CDD).
