Soldier Blast and Ballistic Protection

Abstract

Beginning in FY13, this effort was renamed from Ballistic and Blast Protection for the Individual Soldier to Soldier Blast and Ballistic Protection. This effort focuses on material modeling, novel materials, and component designs to protect Soldiers against ballistic and blast threats. This effort utilizes a cross-disciplinary, human-centric approach to develop technologies which optimize tradeoffs in ballistic and blast protective component design. This effort is fully coordinated with PE 0602787A/Project FH2, Project VB3, Project 874 (Medical Technology), PE 0602618A/H80, PE0602105A/Project H84, and PE0602716A/Project H70 (ARL) and PE 0603001/Project J50. This effort supports Force Protection Soldier & Small Unit capability research and addresses the Army top challenge of easing overburdened Soldiers in small units.
