Abstract

Funding in this project supports the Army's Cross Functional Teams (CFT) initiatives. It supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and full rate production decision reviews of Soldier Protective Equipment. It leverages advancements in technology to continue improvements to the Army's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) portfolio to include hard and soft body armor components (Vital Torso Protection (VTP) and Torso and Extremity Protection (TEP) respectfully), helmets (Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) and other personal protective equipment (Military Combat Eye Protection (MCEP)).
