Soldier Systems - Warrior Dem/Val
Abstract
This program element contains four active projects: Project EY2 - Integrated Soldier Power Data System - Core: Supports development of the Integrated Soldier Power and Data Hub, Conformal Wearable Battery (CWB), and Squad Power Manager (SPM). These capabilities fill the power and energy requirements for critical Integrated Tactical Network Soldier worn systems to include tactical leader radios, Nett Warrior, and the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). These capabilities are critical enablers in closing the power and energy gaps created by the increase in mission essential, Soldier portable power consumers, GPS systems, weapon sensors, radios, and other devices. Project EY4 - Universal Battery Charger (UBC): Supports development of the UBC and UBC-L chargers. These capabilities fill the power and energy requirements for critical Integrated Tactical Network Soldier worn systems to include tactical leader radios, Nett Warrior, and the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). These capabilities are critical enablers in closing the power and energy gaps created by the increase in mission essential, Soldier portable power consumers, GPS systems, weapon sensors, radios, and other devices by providing a family of charging solutions capable of providing power to handheld communication devices and military issued batteries. Project FK4 - Soldier Borne Sensor (SBS): The SBS is a small unmanned aerial vehicle. The SBS provides a near term solution to three Army War-fighting Challenges at the Infantry Squad level: develop situational understanding, conduct air-ground reconnaissance, and conduct joint combined arms maneuver. The system is simple to deploy and use to support the squad leader's decision-making process. The system allows Soldiers to obtain local situational awareness and understanding of their immediate surroundings while remaining in covered or concealed positions. The SBS will be procured in multiple Tranches/increments. RDTE funding will be used to develop, integrate, and qualify additional capabilities for each tranche. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. This SBS project is not a new start: funding from this project transferred from PE: 06005053A / Grounds Robotics project 655053.FB8. 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 Generation (PPG) - PM E2S2: This project supports the demonstration and development of a PPG. The Small Unit Power (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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The total decrease of $1.139 million, is cumulated across the associated projects. The decrease resulted from a reduction in inventory, and scaled back fuel requirement for the FK4 project. The decrease also, resulted from an across the board Army's decision to decrements project EY2, EY4, and FK4. Funding was reprioritized to support higher priority.
