ENGINEER SUPPORT EQUIPMENT - ED
Abstract
These systems provide state-of-the-art deployable, combat engineer and construction equipment and critical life support along with engineer safety and special unit support equipment supporting the joint warfighter. These programs enhance combat and military operations minimize transportation requirements and reduce the logistical footprint by eliminating obsolete equipment and reducing the number of programs. The Combat Engineer and Construction equipment consists of the Surveying, Firefighting Individual Requirements Equipment Support (FIRES), Fire Protection Equipment Type I, II and III, Tactical Fire Fighting Truck Tools (TFTT), Family of Power Utility Kits (FoPUK), and Soldier Portable Kits, Lineman's Tool Kit, Concrete and Masonry, Electricians, Plumbers, Pipefitters, Family of Light Sets (FoLS), Airfield Damage Repair Kit (ADRK), Diving Equipment, Surface Swimmer Support Sets, Surface Supplied Diving Set, procurement of new Technical/Special Tools, Pioneer Support Set, and the Pioneer Land Clearing and Building Erection Set. Project will explore Additive Manufacturing for Engineer systems. Funding will support the procurement of market samples and testing for Soldier Portable Sets, Kits, and Outfits (SKO), Special Tools initiative, and critical life support equipment such as the Deep Sea Set, Underwater Construction Set, Photo Support Set, Diver Supplemental Issue Set, Closed Circuit Scuba Set, Supervisor Propulsion Emergency and Recovery SCUBA (SPEaRS), Divers' Supplemental Issue Set(DSIS), Vertical Skills Engineer Construction Kit (VSECK), and Family of Boats and Motors (FOBAM). BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This project supports development, demonstration, testing and evaluation within the Combat Engineer and Construction Support Equipment arena. These items include critical life support equipment such as diving, firefighting, fire suppression, urban and dense urban operations, subterranean operations, breathable air compressors, and emergency and recovery sets along with engineer safety and special unit support equipment and photo support sets. Funding shall allow for development of dual use systems that support wartime use by Soldiers to include Special Forces and peacetime operations that include national disaster relief and homeland security operations. Much of this equipment has an inherent short Economic Useful Life (EUL). Investments used to revise, update and obtain equipment within this portfolio has resulted in increased readiness, safety, and effectiveness and reductions in footprint. No FY22 funding for this project. Funding supports modernization of the current Ordnance/Engineer equipment by investigating technology insertions due to but not limited to obsolescence and technology innovations. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts.
