Materials Technology
Abstract
This PE conducts fundamental research relevant to the soldier focused on new materials, properties and phenomena in four research areas: (1) lightweight materials and hybrid assemblies for enhanced expeditionary operations, (2) materials and mechanisms that mitigate effects from blast and ballistic threats, (3) materials for augmented soldier protection and situational awareness, and (4) multifunctional materials with integrated structure, power storage, communications, sensing, and/or propulsion to provide system level efficiencies. This PE also funds collaborative applied research and integration of government, academic, and industry scientific research to advance innovative capabilities. This PE sustains Army science and technology efforts supporting the Soldier portfolio. Work in this PE builds on the materials research transitioned from PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences) and 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers). This work complements and is fully coordinated with PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology), and PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. This work is performed by the United States Army Futures Command.
