Warfighter Advanced Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) provides Soldiers and Small Combat Units with the most effective personal clothing, equipment, combat rations, shelters and logistical support items with the least weight and sustainment burden. This PE supports the maturation and demonstration of technologies associated with air delivery of personnel and cargo (Project 242), rapid ammunition/munitions deployability and resupply (Project 543), combat rations and combat feeding equipment (Project C07), combat clothing and personal equipment (including protective equipment such as personal armor, helmets, and eye wear) (Project J50) and expeditionary base camps (Project VT5). Project J52 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 as a System Integrated Concepts Development Team, and the DoD Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Board. Efforts in this program element support the Army science and technology Soldier portfolio. Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology), PE 0602105A (Materials Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602624A (Weapons and Munitions Technology), PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), PE 0603008A (Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology), PEs 0602623A and 0603607A (Joint Service Small Arms Program) and PEs 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology) and 0603734A (Military Engineering Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is led, performed, and/or managed by the Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA and the Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), Picatinny, NJ.
