TA 39 - Thermal Comfort Testing of Canadian Armed Forces Operational Uniforms

How to Apply: 

The objective of this work is to assess thermal performance of current in-service combat clothing configurations a)-c). 

 
This assessment is to include quantitative and qualitative data collection in the form of: 
a) Participant testing in controlled temperature environment as identified in the Scope section below; 
b) Complete thermal assessment of various testing configurations; and 
c) Development and administration of perceived thermal comfort surveys following testing for each participant. 
 
The results of this work will aid to better inform acquisition personnel throughout the development of the next generation operational uniform with improved thermal performance capability. This will in turn help in mitigating occurrence of thermal fatigue, heat exhaustion and heat stroke for CAF members.
