III.K.06p. Chemical/Biological (C/B) Protective Duty Uniform. By the end of FY00, demonstrate the concept of a lightweight C/B duty uniform, based on advanced selectively permeable membrane/fabric technology, which eliminates the need for an overgarment while providing equivalent protection. The C/B duty uniform will be launderable, 30 percent lighter in weight, and less bulky than the standard duty uniform/overgarment system (JSLIST) with equivalent durability. To reduce the logistics burden and costs, by the end of FY02, demonstrate the efficacy and durability of this novel C/B duty uniform.
