Soldier Ballistic and Blast Protection
Abstract
This effort focuses on maturing and demonstrating ballistic and blast personal protection capabilities worn by the individual Soldier and validating advanced test methods of personal protective equipment against small arms, fragmentation and blast threats. These developmental efforts focus on the objective of significantly increase the survivability afforded by Soldier individual protective equipment by increasing sub-system and system material performance against intended threats, reduce sub-system and system weight and inform future requirements linking threat lethality to Soldier survivability. This work is fully coordinated with PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology) / Project H98 (Clothing & Equipm Tech), PE 0602716A (Human Factors Engineering Technology) / Project H70 (Human Fact Eng Sys Dev), and PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices) / Project H94 (Elec & Electronic Dev). Demonstrated technologies transition to various PEO Soldier Product Managers. This effort supports Force Protection capability demonstrations for Soldiers and Small Units.
