Soldier Systems Engineering Architecture (SSEA)

Abstract

This effort pursues a mature and maintainable architecture for a biological (human) platform that utilizes a common Soldier, Equipment, Task (SET) framework at the system level. The architecture will provide a unifying performance construct that considers human dimension and equipment capability resulting in a desired tactical outcome by applying systems engineering processes, analytical tools, and models to assess the complex Soldier as a System and conduct system level trade-offs. This capability is used to assess new and emerging Soldier clothing and equipment components as well as configurations against established baselines using Human-in-the-Loop principles. This effort also matures and integrates associated foundational efforts including human performance assessment measures and evaluation devices required at various testing locations. This effort develops standardized methodologies required for demonstrations to provide operationally relevant assessments. This effort is coordinated with PE 0602716A (Human Factors Engineering Technology) / Project H70 (Human Fact Eng Sys Dev), PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology) / Project H98 (Clothing & Equipm Tech), 0603015A (Next Generation Training & Simulation Systems) / Project S28 (Immersive Learning Environments), PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology) / Project K70 (Night Vision Adv TecH), PE 0602308A (Advanced Concepts and Simulation) / Project C90 (Advanced Distributed Simulation), PE 0602787A (Medical Technology) / Project 869 (Warfighter Health Prot & Perf Stnds), and PE 0603004A (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology) / Project 232 (Advanced Lethality & Survivability Demo). This framework effort will end in FY 2018 and transition to human systems integrators for Soldier system development and design.
