Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS)
Abstract
Funding in this project supports the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team (CFT). The NGABS program directly contributes to Soldier lethality and ground force commander freedom of maneuver by providing next generation sensor and optics in the cutting-edge Heads-Up-Display (HUD) while integrating the Government's latest investments in protective material for the modular, scalable NGABS bomb suit development. NGABS will increase the Warfighter survivability and mobility by optimizing Soldier protection for EOD personnel, while effectively managing all life cycle aspects of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Warfighter lethality is increased through bomb suit weight reduction utilizing extensive investments in protective material research and development. The result is material solutions that are lighter and are pieced together in a manner which increases Soldier mobility and longevity. EOD Soldier situational awareness and exposure to ballistic threats is enhanced through the NGABS HUD which allows the Soldier increased visibility under various obscurants and low/no-light situations. This program is not a new start. Funds were transferred from APE 0604808016 to clearly define the functions that are being completed with the NGABS funding line.
