Military Engineering Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) demonstrates data and information architectures and software applications, as well as sensing systems, that can be used to provide Warfighters with timely, accurate, easily interpretable data and information for the operational and tactical mission environments, focusing on physical and human terrain and weather; methodologies, software applications, and hardware for improving ground vehicle mobility and countermobility to support ground force operations including manned-unmanned teaming; demonstrates material technologies and tools for force projection, and sustainment. This PE also demonstrates subsystems and systems to increase the survivability of personnel, critical assets, and facilities through structures, shields, and barriers to combat highly adaptive and increasingly severe threats; and systems and interoperable systems of systems for detecting threats, assessing situations, defending against threats, and communicating information and warnings for force protection. This work is fully coordinated with and complementary to PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology). FY20 realignments are due to financial restructuring in support of Army Modernization Priorities. The work cited is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is led by the Army Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC)
