FUTURE WARRIOR TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
Abstract
This project matures, demonstrates and integrates high-payoff technologies to provide the Soldier and Small Combat Units (SCU) with the most effective personal protective clothing, electronics subsystems, and mission specific equipment while reducing weight, sustainment and cognitive burden. Efforts in this project focus on maturation, integration and demonstration of technologies such as personal armor and headgear; lightweight, ruggedized, durable electronic components for situational awareness and network connectivity; Soldier load-optimization and power/power management components/systems for the individual Soldier and SCU. These efforts utilize field demonstrations to obtain relevant user feedback for design and performance validation. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is led, performed and/or managed by the US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA. The Soldier Ballistic and Blast Protection task is executed in collaboration with the DoD Medical Research Program for Prevention, Mitigation and Treatment of Blast Injuries and leverages and integrates technologies developed in PEs 0602786A/project H98 and 0602787A/project 878.
