SOLDIER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Abstract

This funding supports engineering and manufacturing development tasks related to Individual Soldier Ballistic Protection. It funds system integration and formal DT/OT of preproduction and production representative systems leveraging advancements in technology to continue incremental improvements (sizing, functionality, heat management and reduction of weight/bulk)of body armor, and transition of new technologies as they mature. It funds efforts to assess head protection component technologies to mitigate the effects of ballistic/blast and non-ballistic impact(crash) threats, and continue to increase eyewear ballistic/blast protection and transition to production.
