Human Performance AdvTech for Mobility & Lethality
Abstract
This Project matures technologies, methodologies, and human performance models to demonstrate increased mobility and lethality of the individual and small unit to achieve overmatch and offset vulnerabilities of maneuvering infantry. It validates and integrates human performance assessment methods and algorithms into training/education, test and evaluation methodologies, and materiel solutions to optimize the Soldier as a weapons system and the small unit as an integration combat platform. These methods and algorithms have potential to enable the development 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 and integration of technologies to augment Soldier function (e.g. shoot, move, perceive, decide, and communicate) during distributed operations utilizing cross-domain capabilities. This Project also complements and is fully coordinated with work performed across Army, Navy, and Air Force under the Human Systems Community of Interest: Systems Interfaces & Cognitive Processes and Protection, Sustainment, and Warfighter Performance. This Project supports key Army needs and complements the technical research of Program Element (PE) 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology)/Project BC2 (Next Gen Mobility & Lethality Tech for Warfighters). This research 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 Program Executive Office-Soldier (PEO-S). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, the Close Combat Lethality Task Force, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Soldier Center (SC).
