Physical Augmentation: Adv Tech for Field Demo
Abstract
This Project investigates human augmentation technologies for enhanced Soldier mobility & lethality to provide an advantage over adversaries during close combat and infantry tasks. This will be achieved by demonstrating and validating operationally ready physical augmentation systems that meet the mission requirements by optimizing movement & maneuver and logistics sustainment task performance. Work in this Project leverages research of PEs including PE 0602143A (BC2, BB9 and BC5) and PE 0603118A (BC1, BB5 & BB8). Additionally, work in this Project complements and is coordinated with Military Research and Materiel Command and the Veteran Administration's exoskeleton research area. This Project is also coordinated with work performed across the DoD under the Reliance 21 Human Systems Community of Interest: Protection, Sustainment, and Warfighter Performance. Results of these efforts may transition to the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier, Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), Human Systems Integration (HSI) Directorate (Army G1), and Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). 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).
