Clothing And Equipment
Abstract
Funding in this effort supports the Army's Cross Functional Teams' (CFT) initiatives to evaluate and integrate technologies and prototypes that expedite Product Manager Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment (PdM SCIE) technology transitions from the laboratory to operational use. Efforts focus on achieving commonality across all services to provide footwear, uniforms and clothing systems consisting of all layers required to accommodate Warfighters in all environments resulting in integrated systems for the Airborne, Arctic, Arid, Jungle, and Temperate Soldier. PdM SCIE efforts include female Warfighter specific items and sizing. This effort funds the transition of new, improved technologies and domestically available fabrics with capabilities such as Flame Resistance (FR), moisture wicking, vector protection and innovative multi-service efforts to advance camouflage technologies to mitigate multi-spectral signature detection. This effort also funds integration of fabrics for uniforms and equipment for use in all environments. PdM SCIE will transition capabilities from our Science and Technology partners to increase performance of Warfighter clothing and equipment and identify emerging technologies to integrate advanced material capabilities into combat uniforms and equipment. Additional advances in existing technologies to improve survivability by focusing on reducing weight and improving performance, mobility and comfort. PdM SCIE will continue to support multi-service commonality initiatives through technology that enables combat operations in a gender integrated fighting force.
