41 CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION

• The ECOCS program will properly 

protect and equip Ground Airmen 

performing mission essential duties 

and survival tasks in extreme cold 

weather environments (-60°F). This 

requires a modular, tailorable, 

scalable environmental clothing 

ensemble that provides protection 

from extreme cold weather 

temperatures and winds while 

providing the hazard protection 

while performing specific duties 

and potential survival situations.

Background:

• Evaluate GOTS and COTS 

garments/clothing systems to see if 

requirement can be met with 

existing technologies

• Consider passive and active 

heating technologies as additional 

COAs

Plan Forward:

Current Activities

• Working with the United States Army Institute of 

Environmental Medicine to develop the Cold Weather 

Ensemble Decision Aid (CoWEDA)

 CoWEDA is a modeling and simulation program that 

will enable the prediction of cold weather garment 

performance in different configurations

• CoWEDA will help determine how current cold weather 

garments will protect against -60°F

What Is Needed From Industry

• Higher performing textiles that improve thermal 

retention, moisture management, reduce bulk, and are 

durable
