Warfighter Technology
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) investigates and develops integrated technologies which improve Soldier and Small Combat Unit survivability, sustainability, mobility, combat effectiveness, and field quality of life and assess the impact of each on Soldier performance. This PE supports the design, development, and improvement of components used for aerial delivery of personnel and cargo (Project 283), combat clothing and personal equipment including protective equipment such as personal armor, helmets, and eyewear (Project H98), combat rations and combat feeding equipment (Project H99), and expeditionary base camps (Project VT4). This PE supports the investigation and advancement of critical knowledge and understanding of Soldier physical and cognitive performance. Project E01 funds Congressional special interest items. The projects in this PE adhere to Tri-Service Agreements on clothing, textiles, and food with coordination provided through the Cross Service Warfighter Equipment Board, the Soldier and Squad Integrated Concepts Development Team, and the Department of Defense (DoD) Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Board. Efforts in this Program Element support the Army Science and Technology Soldier/Squad Portfolio. Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology), PE 0602105A (Materials Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602787A (Medical Technology Initiatives), PE 0602716A (Human Factors Engineering Technology), 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology), PE 0603125A (Combating Terrorism Technology Development), and PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is led, performed, and/or managed by the Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA.
