In FY21, UIPE FoS transitions to UIPE FoS General Purpose (GP), UIPE FoS Air and UIPE FoS Gloves. In order to reflect the structure of the program, UIPE FoS will
meet Mission Area needs, not individual Service needs. The four Mission Areas are: Land, Air, Sea, and Homeland Defense. Each of the Mission Areas have unique
mission requirements that the UIPE FoS GP, Air and Gloves solutions will fulfill.
UIPE FoS GP will provide a family of systems that will give the Warfighter percutaneous protection from operationally relevant traditional, non-traditional, and advanced
CBRN/Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) threats likely to be encountered during joint force operations. The family of systems is being developed based on agreed upon
Service Mission Areas of which there are four: Land, Sea, Air, and Homeland Defense. Each of the Mission Areas have unique mission requirements that the combined
UIPE FoS solutions will fulfill. The overarching goal of each of the four Mission Areas is to minimize operational burden and provide improved form, fit, function, and
integration with the current Warfighter kits compared to legacy systems. The Tactical All-Hazards Threat Protective Ensemble (TATPE) will be a subset to the UIPE FoS
GP and capitalize on the protection factor of commercial Level A with design modifications to align with the necessary operational requirements. This suit serves as an
additional tool in the arsenal until technology matures to the point of delivering a similar capability applied against the range of military operations in all environments
under all conditions.
The JSAM SA and JSAM TA are Acquisition Category (ACAT) III programs developed to provide respiratory and ocular protection. The JSAM family is a lightweight
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) protective mask for most United States Army (USA), Navy (USN), Air Force (USAF), and Marine Corps (USMC)
rotary wing and fixed wing aircrew. All JSAM variants will be compatible with most Below-The-Neck (BTN) CB protection ensembles and existing Aircrew Life Support
Equipment (ALSE). They will include a protective hood assembly, CB filter, blower assembly (except JSAM SA), and an intercom for ground communication. They will
also provide flame protection, demist/emergency demist (except JSAM SA), and anti-drowning features. The goal of the JSAM programs is to develop, manufacture,
field, and sustain an aircrew respirator system that, in conjunction with BTN clothing ensembles. These masks posture all aircrew to operate in an actual or perceived
CB domain as directed in the 2018 National Defense Strategy.
The JSAM SA mask components will be optimized to minimize their impact on the wearer's performance and maximize its ability to interface with aircrew protective
clothing. JSAM SA will provide pressure breathing for altitude for aircraft that do not require pressure breathing for gravity. JSAM SA will integrate with aircraft
subsystems which include aviation life support equipment, aircrew flight equipment, aircraft seating, portable aircrew systems, communications systems, and aircraft
oxygen systems. The JSAM SA mask will provide individual respiratory, ocular, and percutaneous protection of chemical and biological warfare agents, and select Toxic
Industrial Chemicals (TICs) for USAF (E-3, E-8, C-135s, C-17, C-145, C-146, C-130s, C-5), Aeromedical personnel (C-130s, KC-10, U-18, KC-135, C-12s, KC-46), USN
(P-8, E-6, C-40, C-12, C-20), USMC (C-9, C-12, C-20, UC-35), and USA (RC-7, C-12s, C-20, C-26, UC-35, C-37) strategic aircrew.
The JSAM TA will provide chemical biological protection for aircrew of high performance, ejection seat tactical aircraft. The mask components will be optimized to
minimize their impact on the wearer's performance and maximize its ability to interface with aircrew protective clothing. JSAM TA will be compatible with anti-G systems,
providing Chemical, Biological, Radiological (CBR) protection without degrading protection against Gravity Induced Loss of Consciousness (GLOC) up to 9 Gz. JSAM
TA will integrate with essential aircraft subsystems. The JSAM TA mask will provide individual respiratory, ocular, and percutaneous protection of chemical and biological
warfare agents, and select Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) for USAF (F-22 A), USN (E-2 C/D, E/A-18G, F/A-18 A/C/E/F), and USMC (F/A-18 A/C/D, AV-8B, KC-130J
and MV-22) tactical aircrew members. The mask components will be optimized to minimize their impact on the wearer's performance and maximize its ability to
