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

Lightweight & Midweight FR Undergarments

CUI

Scope

Develop Navy specific 

lightweight and midweight 

top and bottom that increase 

cross service commonality. 

Modular system able to layer 

together or be worn 

separate. Developing 

women’s specific patterns 

based on Navy 

anthropometric data. 

Improving fit in order to 

increase environmental 

protection while decreasing 

snag hazard.

Compatibility

Garments will meet 

shipboard and flight deck 

requirements as well as be 

compatible with existing 

protective and safety 

equipment. Layering system 

will integrate with 2-Piece 

Organizational Clothing 

(2POC).
