WARFIGHTER MEDICAL PROTECTION & PERFORMANCE STDS
Abstract
This project supports the Medical and Survivability technology areas of the future force with laboratory validation studies and field demonstrations of biomedical products designed to protect, sustain, and enhance Soldier performance in the face of a myriad of environmental, physiological stressors, and materiel hazards encountered in training and operational environments. This effort focuses on demonstrating and transitioning technologies as well as validated tools associated with biomechanical-based health risks, injury assessment and prediction, Soldier survivability, and performance during continuous operations. The three main thrust areas are (1) Physiological Health and Environmental Protection, (2) Injury Prevention and Reduction, and (3) Psychological Health and Resilience. This project contains no duplication with any effort within the Military Departments, and includes direct participation by other Services. 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 performed by the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM), Natick, MA, and the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL), Fort Rucker, AL.
