The Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Protection (JPM CBRN P) is conducting market research to identify innovative solutions that address the persistent challenge of contaminant infiltration at the interface between physically integrated protective components worn by individuals.
This RFI seeks to understand novel approaches for controlling air and particulate movement across dynamic interface zones – areas subject to frequent motion, stretching, or bending, which can lead to air exchange and penetration of harmful substances. A key issue is the bellowing effect, in which movement-induced pressure changes cause the interface to act as a leak path, reducing the effectiveness of the protective system as a whole.
