Support Technology to Mission Command
Abstract
This Project investigates and designs technologies that support Soldier/Small Unit survivability, mobility, and combat effectiveness during mission command operations at operational and tactical levels in lethal and contested environments, enabling decentralized and dispersed operations in the future operating environment. This Project designs innovative mission command node platforms with enhanced mobility and agility, increased protection and survivability against electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and other threats, and rapid movement and emplacement, resulting in increased lethality and coordination of dispersed formations during operations and supporting resilient formations in multi-domain operations. Component technologies designed under this Project will transition to Advanced Technology Development efforts in the Soldier Lethality Modernization priority in support of decentralized and dispersed mission command operations in future operating environments and expeditionary maneuver in the Multi-Domain Operations Environment. Work in this Project supports key Army needs and leverages/complements the technical research of several PEs to include PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences), and the following Projects within PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology): Project BB4 (Dismounted Soldier Survivability Materials), Project BD8 (Soldier & Sm Unit Tactical Energy Tech), Project AZ9 (Soldier Protection Advanced Tech - Detectability), PE 0603118A Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology / Project AZ8 (Soldier - Small Unit Detectability Adv Technology) and PE 0602712A (Countermine Systems) / Project H35 Camouflage and Counter-Recon Tech). 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).
