Soldier Systems - Warrior Dem/Val

Abstract

This program element contains five projects: Project S65 - Soldier Power: Soldier Power enables dismounted Soldiers to efficiently execute missions for longer durations by reducing the logistical burden associated with fuel and primary (disposable) batteries. Platoon Power Generator - PM E2S2: This project supports the demonstration and development of a Platoon Power Generation (PPG). The SUP PPG (1kW Generator) will provide small units with sufficient portable power to sustain Modified Table of Organizational Equipment (MTOE) unit power demand in support of 48 to 72 hour missions using a common logistical fuel (JP-8). It will be used for charging batteries and powering various types of Army communications and electronics devices. Project EY2 - Integrated Soldier Power Data System - Core: Integrated Soldier Power and Data System-Core, Conformal Wearable Battery, Squad Power Manager (SPI) fills the power and energy gaps created by the increase in mission essential, Soldier portable power consumers, such as situational awareness displays, GPS systems, weapon sensors, radios, and other devices. Project EY4 - Universal Battery Charger: Universal Battery Charger (UBC) fills the power and energy gap created by the increase in mission essential, Soldier portable power consumers, by providing a sole charging solution capable of providing power to handheld communication devices and a suite of military batteries. Project S75 - Nett Warrior (NW), [named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient COL Robert Nett], previously known as Ground Soldier System (GSS): 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. Project DX7 - Tactical Communications and Protective System (TCAPS): TCAPS enables Soldiers to communicate over radios in combat environments while simultaneously providing hearing protection from both steady state and impulse noise.
