Overhead Cover for Individual Fighting Position: Feasibility Study.
Abstract
A study has been conducted to determine the feasibility of developing an Overhead Cover for Individual Fighting Position (OHC-IFP) that falls within a design envelope established by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command's Operational and Organizational Plan for OHC-IFP and meets the criteria established by the U.S. Army Belvoir Research and Development Center in conjunction with the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory Candidate solutions included tension membrane structures, folded-plate structures, and fabric-covered framework structures. The first two types present operational difficulties or fall outside the design envelope, but a variety of fabric-covered framework structures will satisfy all stated requirements. Keyword: Foxholes.
