Soldier Enhancement Program
Abstract
The Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) was established in accordance with Congressional language in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1990 and 1991. The purpose of the SEP is to increase the combat effectiveness of our Soldiers through the test and evaluation of lighter, more lethal infantry weapons and improved equipment. The SEP uses a Buy, Try and Decide methodology to evaluate Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), Government Off The Shelf (GOTS) and Non-Developmental Items (NDI) that have the potential to enhance Soldier combat effectiveness. The SEP provides accelerated integration, modernization, and capability enhancement efforts of lighter, more lethal weapons and munitions; improved engagement optics; sights, lasers and fire controls; improved lighter more comfortable and versatile Soldier individual equipment; survivability enhancement gear; communications equipment and situational awareness aids. Initiatives are submitted by Soldiers and others via the SEP submission web application and are evaluated twice a year.
