Air Warrior (U.S. Army)

Air Warrior (AW) is a combat aircrew ensemble designed for U.S. Army aircrews.

Some previous aviation life support equipment consisted of a non-integrated assemblage of protective and survival gear. The Air Warrior is fielded incrementally in blocks to rapidly provide enhanced capabilities to the warfighter. It leverages and integrates clothing and equipment, such as the Army Aircrew Combat Uniform, and ballistic protection from other product managers. As of April 2020, more than 18,000 AW systems had been used in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
