Protection from Advanced Weapon Effects Technology
Abstract
This Project designs and develops structural hardening, high-performance computing capabilities, and force protection technologies to enhance survivability of personnel and critical assets. This project investigates and develops advanced materials for protection against blast, fragmentation, and penetration through physical experiments and modeling and simulation. Additionally, this project investigates, designs, and develops passive protection technologies and protective design criteria to mitigate attack from emerging advanced threats. Work in this Program Element (PE) complements PE 0603119A (Ground Advanced Technology) / Project BM1 (Protection from Advanced Weapon Effects Adv Tech). The work cited is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory.
