Soldier Protection and Survival Systems

Abstract

This program element provides for development, testing, and integration of specialized equipment to meet the unique soldier protection and survival requirements of Special Operations Forces (SOF). Specialized equipment will improve survivability and mobility of SOF while conducting varied missions. These missions are generally conducted in harsh environments, for unspecified periods, and in locations requiring small unit autonomy. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2010 directed a separate project (S385A) be created for ballistic protection efforts within the existing program element.
