Integrated Soldier Power Data System - Core

Abstract

Soldier Power Integration (SPI) includes power and data managing/distribution devices, cutting-edge energy storage solutions, and power scavenging devices. These capabilities fill the power and energy gaps created by the increase in mission essential, Soldier portable power consumers, such as heads up displays, situational awareness displays, GPS systems, weapon sensors, radios, and other devices. This RDT&E line develops power sources and power management solutions for the individual Soldier and squad for use in the most austere operating environments. SPI systems will enable dismounted Soldiers to execute their missions more efficiently, for longer durations and with fewer battery resupplies while reducing the logistical and physical 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 (26 April 2012), the Small Unit Power CDD (26 September 2013), and the draft SPM, ISPDS-C with Conformal Central Power Source Capability Production Document (May 2017). Justification: FY20 RDT&E develops and evaluates Intra-Soldier Wireless solutions, fuel cell based solutions and improved mission duration batteries.
