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 ET8 funding (Personnel Airdrop System) supports efforts to improve Static Line (SL) and Military Free Fall (MFF) personnel parachutes and associated equipment to include canopy improvements based on integration of new technology with the goal of enhancing the insertion capability of the airborne soldier and increasing the performance, safety and durability of personnel airdrop equipment. 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 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.
