Military Unique Sustainment Technology Program

Military Unique Sustainment Technology Program Overview

The MUST program addresses the GAO recommendation to establish a “knowledge- based approach” to collaborate on development of combat uniforms and individual protective equipment. DLA has the responsibility to communicate and manage the technical requirements among the military services and the defense industrial base. Currently there is no common environment for collaborating among the stakeholders. MUST will research and develop knowledge-based technologies for the common environment recommended by the GAO.
