Soldier Enabled University Advanced Development
Abstract
This Project leverages advanced technological innovations from academia to accelerate the optimization and demonstration of improved capabilities and systems that advance Soldier and Squad lethality-overmatch and Soldier performance and meet mission needs in the future operating environments. This Project funds collaborative, enduring advanced extramural university-based maturation and demonstration of technologies and brings together competitively selected universities with Army research teams into Technical Alliances. This Project will focus efforts on mid- to far-term Army modernization priorities while also maintaining delivery of near-term technologies critical to supporting the modernization priorities. The technical scope of this Project includes the optimization, maturation and demonstration of overarching Soldier-centric technologies including human systems integration, simplified synthetic training environments, advanced protective materials, power and energy, Warfighter endurance, robotics, as well as other innovative Soldier enabled advanced research technologies that will accelerate the Army modernization in Synthetic Training Environment, and Soldier Lethality. This Project conducts advanced research and development leading to potential emerging technologies in areas of strategic importance to the Army in Soldier capabilities related to increased protection, performance, agility, situational awareness, and lethality. This Project will also continuously strive to engage and collaborate with entities that might not otherwise collaborate with the Department of Defense (DoD) to demonstrate and provide novel Soldier-centric technologies for accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies for the Warfighter in the Army Soldier portfolio. The work cited 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 University Technology Development Division.
