    CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT UNIFORM COL Robert F. Mortlock, USA (Ret.) The development, testing, and fielding of combat uniforms for soldiers offer acquisition professionals an opportunity to analyze how programs progress through the U.S. defense acquisition system. This case centers on the U.S. Army’s decision to change the camouflage patterns on combat uniforms and equipment for soldiers. The case is broadly applicable to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logisticians involved in project management, while specifically targeting defense acquisition professionals. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of stakeholder management, resource management, and decision making in a complex environment. The case is developed in two distinct parts. Part I provides an analysis of the Army’s development of a plan with an increased chance of success in meeting desired objectives. Part II analyzes how the Army decided to change the ITIO camouflage pattern on combat uniforms through UIS N Q UN C CH C A EAR OM IV an informed, knowledge-based process.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Paper deals with the building visual detection problem. Particular buildings which are important to government infrastructure must have additional security means including camouflage painting to disguise from aerial reconnaissance and observation. The approach for computer-generated camouflge pattern design is proposed. The novelty of the proposed method consists of the consideration of the camouflaged building and urban environment fusion effect in description of the multicolor camouflage effectivity. An analytical method for determination of building camouflage effectivity is presented. This method is constructed within the framework of visual detection probabilities. The proposed method is illustrated by the design of the camouflage drawing geometry and determination of the effectivity characteristics for prescribed observation range. Keywords: building, camouflage pattern design, efficiency analysis.

    SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2013 Alex Borstein ‘Getting On’ with on-screen dream he’s appeared in numerous film and TV productions since the 1990s, but folks are most likely to recognize Alex SBorstein only after she opens her mouth. The 40-year-old actress is the nasally voice of long-suffering Lois Griffin, wife of hapless hubby Peter Griffin on the Fox animated series “Family Guy.” But soon, Borstein’s face could become familiar, too. Though the actress logged five seasons on the Fox sketch-comedy series “MADtv,” only now does she seem ready for her close-up. Borstein joins Laurie Metcalf and Niecy Nash as one of the three leads in HBO’s Americanization of the widely acclaimed British comedy “Getting On.” Like the original, HBO’s version, which debuts tomorrow at 10 pm EST, gleans laughs from the most unexpected place: a hospi- tal’s neglected all-women’s geriatric wing. It spoils nothing to reveal the pilot’s series-defining moment, as nurses played by Borstein and Nash frantically attempt to understand a woman’s pleas for help. Problem is, she’s shouting in a foreign language. It takes the caregivers two desperate and side-splitting minutes to This combination of images shows the combat uniforms of the various US military services. — AFP decipher what is being said, but an interpreter’s translation is worth the wait: “I can’t stand this. I wish I was dead. Please kill me.” The patient could well be referring to the hospital wing’s hilarious yet heart- The US military’s breaking “M-A-S-H”-like setting and characters.

As a result, the colors—two desert, two woodland, and services had fragmented procedures for managing their uniform development three universal. In addition, the Army is programs, and did not consistently develop effective camouflage uniforms. GAO developing new uniform options and identified two key elements that are essential for producing successful outcomes estimates it may cost up to $4 billion in acquisitions: 1) using clear policies and procedures that are implemented over 5 years to replace its current consistently, and 2) obtaining effective information to make decisions, such as uniform and associated protective credible, reliable, and timely data. The Marine Corps followed these two key gear. GAO was asked to review the elements to produce a successful outcome, and developed a uniform that met its services’ development of new camouflage uniforms. This report requirements. By contrast, two other services, the Army and Air Force, did not addresses: 1) the extent to which DOD follow the two key elements; both services developed uniforms that did not meet guidance provides a consistent mission requirements and had to replace them.

  • Redesign of a Tactical Backpack

    Redesign of a Tactical Backpack

    Redesign of a Tactical Backpack Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Interactive Qualifying Project. By: Ethan Connors Robert Flaherty Richard Gala Jr. James MacDonald Jose Sosa Garret Yablonski C-Term, 2010 Approved: Professor M. S. Fofana ABSTRACT Our project endeavored to improve upon the United States Marine Corps Pack System. At the onset of our work, our project group had aspired to design a completely new dry liner for the United States Marine Corps Improved Load Bearing Equipment (ILBE) pack design. USMC contracting departments, however, are currently discussing the possibility of soon phasing out the ILBE completely. Therefore, our focus was redirected towards improving a supplementary tactical system that would continue to be used regardless of the primary pack design later adopted. The compression dry sack currently used by active service marines (in particular Force Reconnaissance Marine dive units) is called the Marine Compression Stuff (MACS) Sack. This design, manufactured by Cascade Designs, Inc, has demonstrated one critical flaw when put to use during USMC recon diver operations: it doesn’t fully deflate. Our project has analyzed the control elements of this tactical pack and developed various means to improve its basic design with respect to this established problem. Our group reached a consensus that a renovation to the existing MACS Sack should come in the form of a more efficient compression method and the possible incorporation of a vacuum pump. With the addition of a “rip-cord” system, the time necessary to initially compress the waterproof pack around its contents would be significantly reduced.
