17 CTAPS Functions Field Evaluation & Data Collection Year Areas of Interest What are we trying to learn? FY 2016 Current Cold Weather Systems (ECWCS and FREE) FY 2017 Base layer (next-to-skin) Handwear Which materials & design aspects are important and why What are the capability gaps What are the system needs with respect to temperature and environment What operational needs are there in regards to mobility What are the issues with interfacing equipment What GOTS NMND base layers moved moisture and had good dry time What COTS/GOTS handwear systems moved moisture and provided thermal protection What level of dexterity is needed in gloves for cold/extreme cold environments FY 2018 Light Insulation Body Mapping Body armor interfacing garments Fit/Design/Durability of soft shell level uniform Headwear What insulation material type provided warmth when activity was relatively low Whether material body mapping is needed for a light insulation layer (Level 3 replacement) What body armor interfacing garments are best for cold weather operations If fit and design improvements can improve thermal comfort and regulation Validate material selection for durability from lab results How does a cap and neck gaiter interface with itself and other clothing and equipment What level of protection should headwear have in the range of temperatures and environments FY 2019 Outer shells Can there be increased functionality of outer shells in regards to water and wind resistance while providing a level of insulation If new construction methods offer increased performance What outer shells are best in cold/wet and cold/dry environments What outer shells sustain down to -65 F FY 2020 Full clothing ensemble Validation of effort to improve moisture management, weight, and bulk of the full clothing system in a cold/extreme cold environmental protection while integrating with body armor and load bearing equipment

18 Soldier Feedback ECWCS Layer Capability Gap Need performance characteristics Layer 1 (light-weight underlayer) Layer 2 (Mid-weight underlayer) Layer 3 (cold weather fleece jacket) Layer 4 (cold weather wind jacket) Layer 5 (Mid-weight cold weather jacket and trouser) Layer 6 (Wet weather jacket and trouser) Layer 7 (Extreme cold weather parka and trouser) durability melt/drip material overheating - too warm when active no wind protection absorbs water does not dry not wind resistant bagginess - snag hazard Velcro does not hold not water resistant snow penetration poor breathability baggy - snag hazard difficult to pack No Melt No Drip Wicking fast drying good stretch & recovery adjustable insulation for varying activity levels quick drying improved moisture transport easier to pack more field utility needed faster dry time makes less noise wind resistance reduce snag hazard adjustable insulation increase tear strength higher moisture vapor transmission rate increase insulation when static
