Dismounted Soldier Survivability Equip/Tech Integ
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates the integration of Soldier survivability materials and technologies to increase the speed and efficiency of dismounted Soldier movement and maneuver. This Project focuses on reducing Soldier worn equipment weight, improving Soldier and system integration and reduce the dismounted Soldier's detectability, susceptibility and vulnerability to operational threats. Operational threats are characterized as combat threats (e.g. flame and thermal, blast and ballistic, multispectral sensors, and laser threats), environmental threats (e.g. cold, heat, wet, vector, water contamination, concealment, antimicrobial, etc.), and Soldier system components and system limitations (e.g. size, weight, and bulk). This effort includes the demonstration and validation of integrated technologies, novel subsystems/systems, and test methods. This effort complements work done in 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) / Project BB4 (Dismounted Soldier Survivability Materials). 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).
