Acis Engineering Development
Abstract
This project conducts development, integration, and qualification activities in support of the Air Soldier System (Air SS). The Air SS is Army aircrew survival and mission equipment that improves safety, survivability, and human performance. The Air SS Capability Production Document (CPD) addresses capability gaps identified during combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan including crew station compatibility challenges caused by equipment bulk, aircraft mishaps as a result of limited Situational Awareness (SA), and lack of functionally integrated aircrew mission and survival equipment. Air SS delivers reduced bulk and weight of survival equipment; improved crew station compatibility; and improved pilot SA and safety. The Air SS provides enhanced terrain, threat, and obstacle avoidance information; improved heads-up display (HUD) technologies that increase the aviator's SA; the capability to perform extended missions in extreme environmental and chemical/biological threat conditions; the capability to digitally replace paper-based DoD Flight Information Publications (Electronic Flight Bag); develops and tests a modernized replacement for the Air Warrior survival vest that integrates with the Soldier Protection System body armor (Aircrew Combat Equipment); and develops and tests aircrew helmet ballistic protection. This project also funds the development and test of deferred Capability Development Document (CDD) capabilities including implementation of a next generation visor projected HUD, implementation of tactical cueing and/or 3D audio capabilities aimed at further reduction of pilot workload and increased SA. This program does not duplicate any aircraft platform program efforts. Includes integration and interface of products on Soldiers.
