Soldier Protective Equipment
Abstract
Funding in this project supports the Army's Cross Functional Teams (CFT) initiatives. It supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) to include design integration and manufacturing of production representative articles, formal developmental testing / operational testing (DT/OT) and Soldier touchpoints, and continued development of SPS technologies transitioning from Project VS4. 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 such as Vital Torso Protection (VTP) and Torso and Extremity Protection (TEP), head protection components such as Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) and Next Generation (NG) IHPS), Military Protective Eyewear systems and other personal protective equipment. This project will continue to support cross-service initiatives to increase commonality.
