Soldier Enabling University Applied Research
Abstract
This Project investigates technologies from academia that will improve capabilities and systems to advance Soldier and Squad lethality-overmatch and Soldier performance. This Project funds collaborative, enduring applied extramural university-based research and brings together competitively selected universities with Army research teams into Technical Alliances. This Project will determine discovery solutions and inform capabilities development for mid- to far-term Army modernization priorities while also maintaining delivery of near-term technologies fundamental to the modernization priorities. The technical scope of this Project includes the investigation and design of overarching Soldier-centric technologies including, human systems integration, robotics, synthetic environments for training, advanced materials, power management, energy, Warfighter endurance, and computational technologies. This Project conducts applied research for 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 identify and determine novel Soldier-centric technologies for accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies for the Warfighter in the Army Soldier portfolio. Research in this Project supports the Synthetic Training Environment and Soldier Lethality and the overall Soldier portfolio Army Modernization Priorities. The cited research is consistent with Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command. Research in this Project complements and transitions to Soldier Enabling University Advanced Development in Program Element (PE) 0603044A (Soldier Advanced Technology).
