Advancements in Fibers, Textiles, and Materials for Soldier Protection

Abstract

This effort focuses on the investigation of technologies and test methods that aid in the design and development of multifunctional protective materials for Soldier clothing and individual equipment. This effort includes the development and maturation of flame, thermal, environmental, and multispectral concealment capabilities, as well as novel desalinization and purification technologies for individual Soldier hydration, combat identification technologies, and electro-textiles for power generation and distribution. This effort supports the Force Protection Soldier and Small Unit capability research. This effort is fully coordinated with PE 0602105A (Materials Technology) / Project H84 (Materials), PE 0602716A (Human Factors Engineering Technology) /Project H70 (Human Fact Eng Sys Dev), and PE 0603001A Warfighter Advanced Technology /Project J50 Future Warrior Technology Integration.
