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. After FY 2022, the Chemical Biological Defense Program (CBDP) RDT&E Projects were restructured to align with the CBDP portfolio construct. IP4 efforts in FY 2022 progress to Project PT4. This restructuring provides standardization and alignment across CBDP research, development and acquisition efforts. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) UIPE FoS Gloves **Progresses to PT5 in FY2023** Uniform Integrated Protective Ensemble (UIPE) Family of Systems (FoS) Gloves provides percutaneous protection to the Warfighter against traditional and non-traditional Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (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 finalize UIPE FoS Glove prototype development and testing for multiple mission profiles (General Purpose, Aviation Light and Aviation Heavy Variants) and conduct Developmental Testing (DT) events on mature prototypes. FY22 is the last year of BA4 funding.
