NTRODUCTION:
The Warfighter Protection & Aerial Delivery Directorate has a unique design and prototype facility. The Design, Pattern and Prototype Team designs and develops combat and dress clothing, and equipment items including ballistics and chemical protective items. This Team gives the Natick Soldier RD&E Center the capability to design and develop dress and combat clothing and equipment items to fabricate representative prototypes and furnishes computer-graded patterns.
Design Facility:
In the Design Facility, highly skilled clothing designers develop patterns and fabricate prototypes of end items. The facility has the various sewing machines, presses, fusing machines and ultrasonic machines necessary to accomplish this mission. These prototypes allow for initial fit/wear tests and assist in the preparation of technical data packages for large-scale procurement. Based on data collected, design changes are made and implemented, as necessary, throughout the development process, resulting in a proven final technical data package/purchase description and master pattern.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) System:
The Computer Aided Design (CAD) System provides customers state-of-the-art technology. Pattern input into the system allows the option of lifetime electronic storage of patterns. Changes and updates can be…
