Soldier/Small Unit Multi-Threat Protection
Abstract
This effort focuses on maturing and demonstrating multifunctional protective component materials, sub-systems, protection technologies, and test methodologies that have the potential to significantly increase protection afforded by Soldier clothing and individual protective equipment. This effort also focuses on the maturation and demonstration of ballistic, blast, and integrated protection technologies that support tradeoff optimization in component design. Work includes small arms and fragmentation protection, flame and thermal, environmental, and multispectral concealment capabilities as well as novel hydration and water purification technologies for the individual Soldier. This work is fully coordinated with PE 0602786A/Project H98, PE 0602716A/Project H70, and PE 0602705A/Project H94. Demonstrated technologies transition to various Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier Product Managers. This effort supports Force Protection capability demonstrations for Soldiers and Small Units.
