The Marines haven’t procured the tried and true Primary Marksmanship Instructor Jacket in years. Massif stepped up and recreated the classic design for the Marines. The jacket retains the bellowed back cape, shortened sleeves, and left or right shoulder pads in the old green fatigue color.
They are available now in sizes XS-3XL.

Another technology exhibited during the ADS Maritime Demo Day is the TacHeat System developed by Human Systems Integration and integrated into dry suits by Mustang Survival. The technology stems from a SBIR program for heated gloves and relies on electrically heated coils which are embedded in the fabric.
Currently, there is a next to skin top and bottom, glove liner and insole.
Here you can see how the power cable interfaces with the next-to-skin layer.
This cable is used to pass the power cable through the drysuit.
There are currently two control boxes, with ine having a smaller form factor but less control.
The wearer can choose which components he wants to use. For example, all of the components, or just gloves and insoles for say aircraft door gunners.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is leading the Navy’s first comprehensive study since 1964 to update aviator size requirements, improve aircrew gear and equipment, and expand access for prospective future aviators. This is the Navy’s first aircrew study to include women and minorities.
“We are excited to launch this historic study that will improve the readiness, protection, performance and safety for our Navy’s aviation community,” said Lori Basham, NAWCAD’s principal investigator for the study. “Updating our data to accurately characterize our aircrew will address the needs of a population that is drastically different than it was in the 1960s.”
NAWCAD is seeking participation from more than 4,000 active-duty, enlisted, and commissioned aviators, flight officers and aircrew. The research team will measure these service members across the country when they tour the Navy’s most populous air bases from through December 2023. Participation in the 30-to 50-minute study will require 32 simple body measurements that include various heights, lengths, breadths and circumferences that are relevant to aircrew. Researchers will remove personal information to protect participant privacy.
Traditional anthropometric studies are expensive, historically costing between $6 and $14 million dollars in industry settings, depending on the scope of effort. Today, NAWCAD can perform its own study almost completely in-house, costing the Navy less than $2 million, due to the command’s advanced 3D scanning hardware and expertise as well as supportive technology and subject matter experts through other services and industry partnerships.
For more information on the study or for participation coordination, contact Lt. Jennifer Knapp at jennifer.a.knapp2.mil@us.navy.mil. For study technical questions, contact Lori Brattin Basham at lori.l.basham2.civ@us.navy.mil.
