Soldier Systems - Warrior Dem/Val

Abstract

This program element contains three projects: Project S56 for Mounted Soldier System (MSS), Project S65 for Soldier Power and Project S75 for Nett Warrior (NW), [named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient COL Robert Nett], previously known as Ground Soldier System (GSS). MSS provides an integrated suite of enhancements to the combat vehicle crew member and commander to address identifiable capability gaps in their ability to fight, communicate, and maneuver across the full spectrum of operations. MSS consists of lightweight, modular, and misison tailorable equipment and Command, Control, Communications and Computer (C4) devices worn, carried, or used by mounted crew members in performance of their missions. Congressionally added funding in FY10 for Soldier Power efforts has been applied to the Soldier Power project line. NW provides unparalleled situational awareness and understanding to the dismounted leader allowing for faster and more accurate decisions in the tactical fight. This translates into Soldiers being at the right place, at the right time, with the right equipment making them more effective, more lethal, and more survivable in the execution of their combat mission. The Increment I of the NW program focuses on the development of the situational awareness system, improved navigation, and reduced fratricide through the visualization of friendly forces.
