Warfighter Medical Protection & Performance

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 myriad environmental and physiological (human physical and biochemical functions) 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 four main thrust areas are: (1) Physiological Health, (2) Environmental Protection, (3) Injury Prevention and Reduction (4) Psychological (mental) 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 fully coordinated with Natick Soldier Research Development (NSRDEC), Natick, MA. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology, focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
