Human Performance AdvTech for Mobility & Lethality
Abstract
This Project matures technologies, methodologies, and human performance models to demonstrate increased mobility & lethality of the individual and small unit to achieve overmatch. It validates and integrates human performance assessment methods and algorithms into training/education, test and evaluation methodologies, and materiel solutions to compare performance impacts between different materiel and non-materiel solutions to maximize the individual Warfighter and small unit. These methods and algorithms have potential to enable the development of aspects of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) improvements and efficiencies. This Project also uses Soldier assessments to iteratively improve the performance, optimize, and integrate technologies to augment Soldier function (e.g. shoot, move, perceive, decide, and communicate) during missions for maximizing performance. This Project supports the Measuring and Advancing Soldier Tactical Readiness and Effectiveness (MASTR-E) Science and Technology program supported by the Office of the Secretary of Defense Close Combat Lethality Task Force. This Project is fully coordinated and complementary with the other PE/Projects in support of MASTR-E to include the following: PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) / Projects BC6 (Human Perf-Tech for Warfighter Enhancement), BC2 (Next Gen Mobility & Lethality Tech for Warfighters), and BB9 (Human Performance Tech for Mobility & Lethality). This work is also supported by and fully coordinated with efforts conducted by Medical Research & Development Command (MRDC), Army Research Institute (ARI), U.S. Military Academy (USMA), and other academic and industry partners. This work is in partnership with Forces Command (FORSCOM) operational units and the appropriate Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) organizations as well as established transition partners, including Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) & Program Executive Office- Soldier (PEO-S). This project also complements and is fully coordinated with work performed across Army, Navy, and Air Force under the Reliance 21 Human Systems Community of Interest: Systems Interfaces & Cognitive Processes and Protection, Sustainment, and Warfighter Performance. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, the Close Combat Lethality Task Force, the Army Modernization Strategy and supports the Soldier Lethality Cross Function Team (CFT) efforts. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
