The new system will update CBRN defense for aircrews, replacing the current 66P legacy system.
Once approved, it will be fielded to all air crews across fixed wing, rotary wing, ejection seat and large frame aircrafts across the DoD.
“This item will service air crews for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army and Air Force, so our testing phase is critical,” said 2nd Lt. Gunnar Kral, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, AF CBRN Defense Systems Branch systems engineer.
The new system is a two-piece undergarment that is lighter, offering better mobility, and is more breathable, which lowers the thermal burden on warfighters. With this, air crews will be able to stay in the suit longer and do their jobs with less heat burden or chances of heat casualties.

SPRINGFIELD A proposed biomass wood-burning plant in East Springfield was dealt another blow Wednesday night when the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals ruled that a building permit for the project has expired.
The board voted, 4-1, that Palmer Renewable Energy’s building permits for the project, issued in 2011, and extended by the building commissioner, lapsed due to inaction on the permit for more than 180 days.
