Sounds like the same class I went through in 1982 to graduate from college. I don't know much about this line of business, but if you are manufacturing, you may be able to get some unused production capacity from another manufacturer cheaper than it would cost you to do it from scratch. That way you don't have the same mobilization and capital costs on the front end. You might try what recurver67 hit upon and find out who makes the military's chem suits. If they aren't in scent suit market than you might have an opportunity there since you aren't competing with them. Just suggestions. I hope they help.
