Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST), Operational Requirements Document (ORD)

摘要

During Operation Desert Storm (ODS), a major deficiency identified was the inability of U.S. forces to provide the warfighter with percutaneous protection against Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Warfare agents and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs). Current national military strategy specifies a worldwide force projection capability that requires U.S. forces to employ effective force protection measures against NBC threats. JSLIST will meet the Joint Chief's urgent need to enhance the survivability of U.S. forces. The JSLIST will provide the wearer with protection from the effects of NBC contaminants and TIMs in any form or state. The JSLIST will be an integrated ensemble consisting of a protective garment (with/without a hood), footwear and gloves; and be compatible with the protective mask currently in inventory and those in development.
