Dutch DeGay briefs reporters on the Army's prototype combat uniform.
Dutch DeGay, a project engineer for the Objective Force Warrior program, briefs reporters on the Army's prototype combat uniform in the Pentagon on May 23, 2002. The helmet incorporates infrared thermal, day/night video cameras, chem-bio sensors, a global positioning system, broadcast heads-up display and ballistic protection. The torso garment incorporates body armor and has physiological status monitors that allows the individual soldier, as well as the medics on the battlefield, to know exactly what the individual soldier's physical condition is at any given time. The uniform is suitable for all climate conditions, having the capability of being heated or cooled. The combat uniform is being researched and developed at the U.S. Army's Soldier Systems Center, Natick, Mass.
