Cold Weather Ensemble

Comprehensive Thermal Protection for Non-Fast Jet and Rotary Wing Aircrew

The Cold Weather Ensemble is a fully integrated thermal protection system designed to keep aircrew warm and comfortable during operations in cold and challenging environments. Specifically tailored for non-fast jet and rotary wing platforms, this ensemble provides advanced thermal insulation, moisture-wicking properties, and full mobility, allowing aircrew to operate effectively in low-temperature conditions without compromising on performance or safety.

Built with layered thermal fabrics, the Cold Weather Ensemble offers maximum protection from the cold while maintaining breathability and flexibility. The system is ideal for aircrew operating in high-altitude, mountainous, or maritime environments, ensuring that they remain focused on their mission even in extreme cold.

Performance

Designed for speed, agility and control, our solutions excel under the extreme demands of fast jet flight. By reducing pilot fatigue and supporting physical resilience, we enable greater endurance in high-intensity missions, helping ensure sustained performance and mission success, even in the most challenging conditions.

Innovation

We’re shaping the future of fast jet capability through next-generation innovation. From cutting-edge material sciences to advanced G-protection system architectures, our solutions are designed to enhance pilot performance and survivability. Innovative textiles and smart integration elevate protection and efficiency, setting new standards for the cockpit and beyond.

Protection

Protection in fast jet environments demands intelligent integration. Our systems are designed to safeguard pilots against thermal extremes, high-G forces and operational hazards. From cockpit survivability to environmental resilience, every element is engineered to preserve capability when it matters most.

Product Benefits

Comprehensive Protection from Cold:
The multi-layered design ensures that aircrew stay warm and protected in extreme cold environments, maintaining operational effectiveness even during extended missions in challenging conditions.

Comfort for Extended Missions:
The moisture-wicking fabrics and breathable design ensure that aircrew remain dry and comfortable, minimising thermal discomfort during long-duration flights or on-the-ground operations.

Freedom of Movement:
The lightweight, flexible design allows for full mobility, ensuring aircrew can perform essential tasks without restriction, whether in the air or on the ground.

Emergency-Ready Durability:
The flame-retardant and durable construction offers additional protection during emergency scenarios, providing critical safety features in high-risk environments.

Platform Compatibility:
The Cold Weather Ensemble is suitable for use across a range of non-fast jet and rotary wing platforms, providing essential cold-weather protection for aircrew operating in harsh environments:

Rotary-Wing Platforms
Non-Fast Jet Fixed-Wing Platforms

Key Features

Layered Thermal Protection:
The Cold Weather Ensemble uses a combination of base, mid, and outer layers to trap heat effectively, ensuring maximum warmth and insulation during cold-weather missions.

Moisture-Wicking and Breathable:
Each layer is constructed from moisture-wicking materials, allowing sweat to evaporate, keeping aircrew dry and comfortable throughout long missions in cold environments.

Lightweight and Flexible:
Despite its high level of thermal insulation, the Cold Weather Ensemble remains lightweight and flexible, allowing aircrew to maintain full mobility whether seated in the cockpit or engaged in rescue or ground operations.

Flame-Retardant and Durable:
Constructed from flame-retardant materials, the ensemble offers additional protection in emergency situations such as cockpit fires or crash landings, ensuring safety as well as warmth.

Ergonomic Design:
The ergonomic design ensures a snug, comfortable fit that can be layered with other gear or flight suits, providing a versatile thermal solution for varying operational environments.
