Individual Protection
Abstract
This Project matures, integrates, and demonstrates Soldier protective clothing and individual equipment focused on enhancing Soldier survivability from combat threats (flame and thermal, blast and ballistic, multispectral sensors, and laser threats), environmental threats (e.g., cold, heat, wet, vector, antimicrobial, etc.), and power management solutions. This effort includes the demonstration and validation of technologies, novel subsystems/systems, and test methods related to personnel armor, helmets, hearing protection, eyewear, uniforms, handwear, footwear, and other clothing and individual equipment items. Efforts in this Project support the Army Science and Technology Soldier/Squad Portfolio. Work in this project complements and is fully coordinated with Program Elements (PEs) 0602786A (Warfighter Technology), PE 0602716A (Human Factors Engineering Technology), and PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA.
