EQUIP FOR THE SOLDIER
Abstract
This project supports basic research to achieve technologies for the Soldier of the future which focus on core technology areas that include mathematical modeling, physical and cognitive performance, polymer science/textile technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and combat ration research. Effort is targeted on enhancing the mission performance, survivability, and sustainability of the Soldier by advancing the state-of-the-art in the sciences underlying human performance, clothing, and protective equipment to defend against battlefield threats and hazards such as ballistics, chemical agents, lasers, environmental extremes, and ration shortfalls. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Defense of Defense Basic Research Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work is performed and managed by the Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA.
