Soldier Protective Equipment
Abstract
This funding supports the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) tasks related to Individual Soldier Ballistic Protection. It funds system integration and formal Developmental Testing/Operational Testing (DT/OT) of production representative systems leveraging advancements in technology to continue incremental improvements (sizing, functionality, heat management and reduction of weight/bulk) of body armor, and the transition of new technologies into production 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. It also funds effort to increase eyewear ballistic/blast protection, and transition products to production.
