Clothing And Equipment
Abstract
Funding in this project supports the Army's Cross Functional Teams (CFT) initiatives. This Project supports efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative or prototype systems that help expedite Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment technology transition from the laboratory to operational use. Efforts focus on proving out commonality across a broad spectrum of users to provide a modular, integrated uniform/clothing system from skin out and head-to-toe. It funds efforts to transition new technologies and domestically available fabrics with Flame Resistant (FR), moisture wicking, insect protection and camouflage technologies, including integration of fabrics appropriate for uniforms and equipment used in all environments such as jungle/tropical and arctic environments. New technologies are indentified to monitor health and improve Soldier survivability, reduce weight, and improve affordability, mobility and comfort in combat and training/administrative environments. Includes integration and interface on the Soldier system. This project will transition capabilities from our Science and Technology partners to increase performance and safety of Soldier clothing and equipment. It will continue to support cross-service initiatives to increase commonality.
