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 several PEs and Projects including PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) / Project BC2 (Next Gen Mobility & Lethality Tech for Warfighters), Project BB9 (Human Performance Technology for Mobility & Lethality), Project BB5 (Physical Augmentation: Tech for Human Interactions), and PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology) / Project BC1 (Human Performance AdvTech for Mobility & Lethality), and Project BB8 (Soldier Centric Advanced Technology). Additionally, work in this Project complements and is coordinated with Medical Research and Development 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), 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. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
