Warfighter Lethality and Survivability
Abstract
In operational environments with limited communications and extensive use of autonomous and unmanned systems, commanders will rely even more on decentralized control enabled by cohesive human-machine teams. Physical and cognitive enhancement capabilities will ensure warfighters are ready to meet a wide range of unanticipated, complex, and dynamic challenges. The Warfighter Lethality and Survivability planned program focuses on basic research that will enhance warfighter performance attributes needed to execute distributed maritime operations. The research areas described in this planned program were previously represented under the Medical and Biological Sciences planned program in PE 0601153N Defense Research Sciences Project 0000. Research topics include Naval Force Health Protection, Physiological Monitoring and Modeling, Stress Response, and Undersea Medicine.
