Integrated Soldier Power Data System - Core
Abstract
Soldier Power Integrated Soldier Power and Data System-Core, Conformal Wearable Battery, Squad Power Manager (SPI) fills the power and energy gaps created by the increase in mission essential, Soldier portable power consumers, such as situational awareness displays, GPS systems, weapon sensors, radios, and other devices. Specific systems of SPI are the Integrated Soldier Power and Data System-Core (ISPDS-C), the Conformal Wearable Battery (CWB) and the Squad Power Manager (SPM). This RDT&E line develops power sources and solutions suited for not only the individual Soldier, but for the team and squad. These power solutions are intended for use in the most austere operating environments and include, but are not limited to, individual Soldier worn systems, integrated power management, and renewable energy. SPI systems will enable dismounted Soldiers to execute their missions more efficiently, for longer durations and with fewer battery resupplies. SPI systems will also reduce the logistical burden associated with moving fuel and primary (disposable) batteries, and allow dismounted Soldiers to operate independently for longer missions without being tethered to a large generator, vehicle, or supply train. This effort is consistent with the Soldier Protection Capability Development Document (CDD) (March 2011), Operational Energy Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) (26 April 2012), the Sep 2013 Small Unit Power CDD (26 September 2013), and the draft SPM, ISPDS-C with Conformal Central Power Source (CCPS) Capability Production Document (CPD). Justification: Beginning in FY18, funding for ISPDS-C was realigned from Program Element: 0604827A (Soldier Systems – Warrior Dem/Val)/Project: S65 (Soldier Power). FY18 RDTE funding develops power sources and solutions suited for not only the individual Soldier, but for the team and squad. These power solutions are intended for use in the most austere operating environments and include, but are not limited to, individual Soldier worn systems, integrated power management, and renewable energy.
