TITLE: Application of a Low-Cost, Flame-Resistant treatment to the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform that Provides Durable, Flame-Resistant Properties
TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Materials/Processes
ACQUISITION PROGRAM: MCCUU, FROG Tropical Clothing, MC uniforms
OBJECTIVE: Develop a low-cost and durable flame-resistant (FR) treatment for the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU).
……The targeted cost increase for this technology should be less than 5% of the current MCCUU (objective) and less than 10% of the current MCCUU (threshold) cost.

With approximately 180,000 active duty Marines and additional Reserve Marines, the market size is significant, since Marines need to constantly replace their worn MCCUU’s…..
