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) The Nett Warrior (NW) program leverages commercial smart devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide the dismounted leader an integrated mission command and situational awareness system for use during combat operations. 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 design, manufacture and testing/evaluation of the Spark Gap (SG)-Shock Tube Initiator program as well as develop a technical data package. This funding will also support the preliminary testing of prototype hardware to begin any necessary modifications of design for the VBOT (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) Blast Overpressure Tool) program. 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 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.
