Soldier Protective Equipment
Abstract
This funding supports the 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.
