It supports engineering and manufacturing development tasks related to clothing and individual equipment with the goal of enhancing the lethality, survivability, and mobility as well as the quality of life of the Warfighter. It funds formal Developmental Testing/Operational Testing (DT/OT) of preproduction and prototypes leveraging technological advancements. Those advancements focus on materials, fabrication techniques, moisture management, flame resistance, vector protection, extreme environmental protection and camouflage.
