Soldier Protection Advanced Tech - Detectability
Abstract
This Project investigates and designs novel materials, technologies, techniques and applications increasing the capabilities of camouflage and concealment against known and emerging sensor threats. The results of this project enable effective deception capabilities, combinations of physical and electronic signature decoy components, and determination of analytical processes for modeling signature management technologies during multi-domain operations. These technologies will provide subsystems and concepts that shall 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. Components designed under this project will transition to Advanced Technology Development efforts in Soldier Lethality protection/survivability Projects to provide disruptive Camouflage, Concealment and Deception technologies to the Operational Army to support expeditionary maneuver in the Multi-Domain Battle Environment 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 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences), PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) / Project BB4 (Dismounted Soldier Survivability Materials), Project AZ5 (Soldier Protection Technology - Vulnerability), Project BE1 (Support Technology to Mission Command), PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology) / Project AZ8, (Soldier - Small Unit Detectability Adv Technology), and PE 0602712A (Countermine Systems) / Project 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. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
