FORCE PROTECTION
Abstract
This activity supports the Force Protection Thrust's applied research program. Technologies are being developed that focus on the following: Landmine avoidance, detection, and breaching/neutralization; Counter Improvised Explosive Devices; Counter Rocket, Artillery, Mortar, and Sniper; Technologies for improved protection for individuals including Marine Personnel Protective Equipment against blast, ballistic and blunt impact threats and in chemical, radiological, and biological environments; and physical installation and checkpoint security. Force Protection (FP) related technologies, including all MCM and counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED) related technology development are now reflected in this thrust area's submission. FY 2011 to FY 2012 increase results from implementation of a program for sensor fields development to identify and classify mine threats and accelerated efforts in personal protection - specifically modeling and simulation for ballistic fabric optimization and development.
