Soldier Signature Management Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project optimizes, matures and demonstrates advances novel materials, technologies, techniques and applications increasing the capabilities of camouflage and concealment against known and emerging sensor threats, providing effective deception capabilities, as well as combinations of physical and electronic signature decoy components and maturing analytical processes for modeling performance of signature management technologies during multi-domain operations. These technologies will produce demonstrator proof of concept systems that decrease the probability of detection and targeting by peer and near-peer adversaries, enabling freedom of movement of semi-independent and dispersed formations and increased protection of high-valued assets. Demonstrations conducted under this Project will support S&T efforts in Soldier Lethality protection/survivability Projects to provide disruptive Camouflage, Concealment and Deception technologies to the Operational Army, supporting expeditionary maneuver in the Multi-Domain Battle Environment to open and retain windows of advantage. Work in this Project supports key Army needs and leverages/complements the technical research of several PEs to include 0602143/BB4, Dismounted Soldier Survivability Materials, 0602143/AZ5, Soldier-Borne Advanced Protection Materials, 0602143/BE1 Support Technology to Mission Command, 0602143A/AZ9, Soldier-Small Unit Protection Technology Detectability, 0601102A, Defense Science Research, and 0602712/H35 Camouflage and Counter-Recon Tech. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. FY 2020 realignments are due to financial restructuring in support of Army Modernization Priorities. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
