Soldier Systems - Advanced Development
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) for Advanced Component Development and Prototypes manages the Soldier as a system in order to increase combat effectiveness, test and deliver tangible products that save Soldier's lives, and improve Soldier's quality of life. It evaluates, develops, and tests emerging technologies and critical Soldier support systems to reduce technology risk. Project S49 funding (Ground Soldier System) integrates multiple components and leverages emerging technologies to provide overmatching operational capabilities to ground combat Soldiers. Project S51 funding (Aircrew Integrated Systems) supports component development and prototyping of critical Soldier support systems and other combat service support equipment that will improve unit sustainability and combat effectiveness. Project S52 funding (Soldier Support Equipment) supports system development and testing for the Gunshot Detection (GSD) Program of Record commencing in FY 2012. The GSD will provide passive detection, computer based signal processing, aural and visual indication to help troops locate a hostile shooter. Project S53 funding (Clothing and Equipment) supports development of state-of-the-art technology to improve tactical and non-tactical clothing and individual equipment to enhance the lethality, survivability, and mobility of the individual Soldier. Project S54 funding (Small Arms Improvement) provides funds to develop, demonstrate and evaluate emerging technology for integration of systems, subcomponents and prototypes designed to enhance lethality, target acquisition, fire control, training effectiveness and reliability for current and future small arms weapon systems and ammunition. Project S55 funding (Counter-Defilade Target Engagement) provides funds to develop, demonstrate and evaluate technology for integration of systems and subcomponents to enhance hit probability to defeat defilade and point area targets at the squad level. Project VS4 funding (Soldier Protective Equipment) supports efforts to evaluate integrated technologies and representative or prototype systems that help expedite Individual Soldier Ballistic Protection technology transition from the laboratory to operational use.
