*What is Near Infrared Textile Technology (NIR)? Used by the U.S. Department of Defense to prevent detection by NIR Image Converters. These photcathode devices to no detect temperatures, but rather infrared radiation variances. NIR-compliant uniforms use a special fabric that allows soldiers to appear at the same radiation level as the surrounding terrain, thus making them more difficult to detect. NIR technology also make uniforms less visible in low-light environments by reducing the reflection of lightWhat is the ECWCS Generation III: The third generation of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System
(ECWCS-III) is a radical re-design of the cold weather clothing system
for the U.S. Army. It is based on layering systems believed to be the
most effective by mountaineering professionals and incorporates 7 layers
of clothing. Each piece fits and functions either alone or together as
a layering system to provide the most effective options in the lightest
weight possible to soldiers. It is 33% more compressible, 25% lighter
and is rated as significantly more comfortable. It is more versatile
and includes functional features that allow the Soldier to adapt to
varying mission requirements and environmental conditions ranging
between -40 to +60 degrees Fahrenheit. The U.S. Army's 10th Mountain
Division field tested 18,000 of the ECWCS-III systems in Afghanistan in
the fall of 2006 with great reviews, hence it is the most current ECWCS
system in the US Army to date.
