 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Now. As Army aircraft are modernized, the equipment their pilots and crews wear is being improved as well. The Army's program Executive Office Soldier shows off the latest gear. All right, so this is our latest development of the aviation life support equipment for the Army. The biggest issues with our gear is weight and bulk, so we want to get about 25 to 40 percent weight and bulk off the soldier. This gear was originally designed to fly missions of five, five and a half hours. Our crew members now in Afghanistan and Iraq are flying in excess of 11 hours, so they're being burdened with all that weight and bulk. So our biggest thing is to get that weight and bulk off them so that they're ever to fly a little bit more comfortable in those aircraft in that extended period of time. We've standardized the pockets and the components in the pockets so that they're able to survive and evade and escape and return back to friendly forces with the right gear. So it makes them successful in doing that, that ultimately will save lives. That's the Army Now.
