Military Engineering Advanced Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates advanced military engineering and geospatial research and engineering technologies. Military engineering technologies include individual, group and asset protection such as overhead cover, structures, protective shields, barriers, and deployable force protection (DFP) to combat highly adaptive and increasingly severe threats (Project T08). Project T08 also funds geospatial research and engineering technologies including sensing systems and mapping tools that enable the Warfighter to understand the impact of the terrain and weather effects during planning and execution of military operations. Geospatial research and engineering also provides and optimizes decision aids and geospatial products that support network centric delivery and update of geospatial data and services to all echelons for battle command planning and mission rehearsal. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. This work is fully coordinated with and complementary to PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology). DFP activities are coordinated with US Army Research Development and Engineering Command, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Services. Work in this PE is led, managed or performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS. Projects T13 and T15 fund Congressional Interest Items.
