Soldier Protective Equipment
Abstract
This funding supports the Integrated Systems Design (ISD) phase of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and 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 advances efforts to mature manufacturing readiness levels of advanced high performance fibers and composites for next-generation combat helmets, and supports transition to System Capability and Manufacturing Process Demonstration (SC&MPD) phase of EMD. It continues to increase eyewear ballistics/blast protection, and incorporates advancements in laser eye protection, as well as advancements in variable transition lens technology into ballistic goggles and spectacles.
