Soldier Applied Research
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) investigates, designs, and performs research focused on technologies necessary for capability enhancements for the Soldier and Squad over the long-term well beyond those technologies planned within the Soldier Lethality Cross- Functional Team. Applied research projects investigate nascent and enduring science and technology areas that are applicable to the individual Soldier and Squads of Soldiers needs with emphasis on maximizing Soldier and Squad performance, lethality, mobility and survivability. This PE also designs and validates technologies that are necessary and foundational for future capabilities with far-reaching impact on mission success. The outputs of these efforts transition to advanced research efforts that mature and demonstrate potential opportunities to realize improved Soldier performance and inform technical requirements for future Soldier systems. The PE will fund civilian salaries for in-house researchers/scientists and program managers collaborating with external subject matter experts in academia and industry who are leaders in these technology research areas. This PE is coordinated with PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology), 0602785A (Manpower, Personnel and Training Technology), 0603007A (Manpower, Personnel and Training Advanced Tech), 0603044A (Soldier Advanced Technology), and 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this PE is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command (AFC).
