Joint Service Chemical & Biological Defense Program Overview ...

JSGPM
The JSGPM is a lightweight, protective mask system (consisting of mask, carrier, and accessories) incorporating state-of-the-art technology to
protect U.S. forces from anticipated threats. The mask’s components will be optimized to minimize their impact on the wearer’s performance
and to maximize its ability to interface with future equipment and protective clothing. When combined with other Nuclear, Biological, and
Chemical protective equipment, the mask will provide an integrated NBC protective system. Warfighters will wear these protective masks based
on threat, operational requirements and mission profiles. The protective mask will allow the operators the flexibility to tailor their protection
to the mission based on the threat; thereby, minimizing weight, bulk, and heat stress.
