Soldier Signature Management Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project optimizes, matures and demonstrates advances in 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 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 Science and Technology 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 PE 0602143 (Soldier Lethality Technology) / BB4 (Dismounted Soldier Survivability Materials), AZ5 (Soldier Protection Technology - Vulnerability), BE1 (Support Technology to Mission Command), AZ9 (Soldier - Small Unit Detectability Technology); PE 0601102A (Defense Science Research); and PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology) BI2 (Sensor Protection Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
