Human Perf - Tech for Warfighter Enhancement

Abstract

This Project investigates and develops mechanisms for safely and effectively optimizing and enhancing Warfighter ability to shoot, move, communicate, and decide. These mechanisms have the potential to exploit the Soldier and Squad as the capability platform beyond materiel solutions provided to the individual and small unit. This project also conducts experiments to populate human performance models that enable tradespace analysis for portions of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) analysis. 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 BC2 (Next Gen Mobility & Lethality Tech for Warfighters), BB9 (Human Performance Tech for Mobility & Lethality), and PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology)/ Projects BC1 (Human Performance AdvTech for Mobility & Lethality). This Project also leverages PE 0603118A /BD7 (Soldier Sys Interfaces/Integration-Sensor AdvTech)), PE 0602143A /BE3 (Joint Service Combat Feeding Technology) and PE 0603118A /BE2 (Joint Service Combat Feeding Advanced Technology). It also has potential to inform materiel solutions within PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology) for the Soldier/Small unit. Work in this Project complements and is fully coordinated with the Medical Research and Development Command under the Military Operational Medicine Research Program as well as Defense Medical Research and Development Program under Military Operational Medicine (JPC-5) to include Projects in PE 0602787A (Medical Technology). 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: Protection, Sustainment, and Warfighter Performance. Work in this Project complements and is fully coordinated with research at the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team (CFT), as well as the Office of the Secretary of Defense Close Combat Lethality Task Force. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
