UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

The Direct Combat Ops profile under the Land Mission Area is the focus of the first Request for

White Paper call.

The Direct Combat Ops mission area is characterized as taking place in forward operating areas while

within range of a concentrated CBRN attack. Warfighters usually have little or no warning time of

CBRN attack. This means MOPP gear exchange happens in austere environments

The Air Mission Area is looking for solutions that provide percutaneous protection, while integrating

with and permitting the proper functionality of aircrew life support systems. Additionally, the solution should permit necessary mobility for

operation of modern weapon systems to permit mission execution. Lastly, the solution should integrate with survival equipment in the post

ejection/bailout/ditch environment.

Lessons Learned from Government S&T Efforts

• Valuable data derived from Government S&T projects over last several years– Integrated Protective Fabric Systems (IPFS) program focused

on developing prototype Chemical Biological (CB) protective garments with novel design concepts to identify and quantify trade space relative to thermal burden, and human factors

• Range of materials, treatments, and designs were evaluated

– Chemical and Biological Lightweight Improved Thermal Ensemble (CBLITE) focused on maximizing thermal performance with protection against a lower challenge level for a shorter duration

• Overview of key take-aways today, more to come 170419 UIPE FoS Industry Day Garey 15

UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO 16

Lessons LearnedVapor and Aerosol Protection

Use of aerosol protective materials WITH improved garment design yields better aerosol protection • Vapor protection can be increased via garment design features (use of

tortuous path layered interfaces with gloves, boots and mask)• 2-piece designs achieved similar aerosol protection to 1-piece designs when a

layered interface is used in the waist region of the 2 piece design• Using a CB undergarment with a CB overgarment increases aerosol protection

Integrated and detachable hood designs offer similar aerosol protection when a layered interface is used in the neck region

• Zipper vents, when backed with sorptive material, increase protection

Key area for improving aerosol protection is the hood-mask interface. • Use multiple layers of material in the temple region. • Use a second skin on the JSGPM AND improve design of the hood. • Closures that intersect with the hood-mask interface should be improved or

eliminated if possible.

Lessons LearnedThermal Performance

• Multiple fabric layers increases thermal burden

• Laminated layers minimize thermal burden compared to separate layers by eliminating insulative air gaps, but both liquid and vapor chemical protective performance is also decreased

• Conformal garment design (close fit) decreases thermal burden by elimination of insulative air gaps

• Reduction of garment features (pockets, abrasion patches, etc.), especially in the hip region, decreases thermal burden

170419 UIPE FoS Industry Day Garey

UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

• Stretch fabric can increase range of motion and comfort.

• Contaminated doffing must be considered. Conformal garments are more difficult to doff and likely require cut-out procedures.

– Problematic areas include inner cuff assemblies that are tight or difficult to access (hood, ankle, wrist, zipper under flaps) or inflexible garment components.

• Must consider design constraints when locating zipper vents on a garment (i.e. cannot be covered by body armor, mask carrier, other worn gear)

– Zipper vents must be easily seen and closed.

• All hardware must be easily manipulated with a gloved hand

• Glove design/material are key areas for improvement in dexterity, thermal comfort

Lessons LearnedHuman Factors

170419 UIPE FoS Industry Day Garey 18

UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

• Durability impacts thermal burden, bulk, and cost

• Laundering can reduce chemical protective performance

• Treatments and coatings can improve hygiene as well as resistance to battlefield contaminants, and may improve chemical protective performance
