SOLDIER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Abstract
This funding supports efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative or prototype systems that help expedite Individual Soldier Ballistic Protection technology transition from the laboratory to operational use. It continues incremental improvement of body armor to reduce Soldier load and improve comfort/functionality based on operational feedback. It will advance efforts to mature manufacturing readiness levels of advanced high performance fibers and composites for next-generation combat helmets, and support transition to Engineering and Manufacturing Development. It continues to increase eyewear ballistics/blast protection, and incorporate advancements in laser eye protection as well as advancements in variable transition lens technology into ballistic goggles and spectacles.
