Equip For The Soldier
Abstract
This project supports basic research to achieve technologies for the Soldier of the future. This research is focused on core technology areas which include mathematical modeling, physical and cognitive performance, polymer science/textile technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and combat ration research. Research efforts are targeted at 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. Work in this project provides theoretical underpinnings for Program Element 0602786A (Warfighter Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is performed and managed by the Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA.
