SOF Soldier Protection and Survival Systems

Abstract

The Special Operations Forces (SOF) Soldier Protection and Survival Systems project provides specialized equipment to meet the unique soldier protection and survival requirements of SOF, to include: Army Rangers; Army Special Forces; Navy Sea, Air, Land (SEAL) teams; Navy Special Boat Units; Air Force Special Tactics Operators; and Marine Forces Special Operations Command. Specialized equipment improves survivability and mobility of SOF while conducting varied missions. These missions are generally conducted in harsh environments, for unspecified periods and in locations requiring small unit autonomy. This project provides for the research, development, and testing of a variety of individual and survival equipment to include: combat uniforms, load carriage systems, communications headsets, visual augmentation system (VAS) mounts, tactical combat casualty care equipment kits and Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Systems.
