Body Armor and Integrated Headborne Advanced Technology
Abstract
This effort focuses on maturing, integrating and demonstrating personal protective capabilities against ballistic, blast, and directed energy threats as well as the development and demonstration of Soldier worn platform architectures to optimize the integration of personal protective equipment and Soldier lethality enabling technologies. Demonstrates advanced test methods to validate personal protective equipment performance enhancements against current and emerging small arms, fragmentation, and blast threats from anti-personnel munitions. The objective of these technology development efforts is to significantly increase Soldier lethality by enhancing the protective capabilities and reducing sub-system and system-level weight of individual protective equipment to reduce the Soldier burden and increase survivability.
