FORCE PROTECTION
Abstract
This activity supports the Force Protection Thrust's Advanced Technology Demonstration efforts in the areas of individual Marine platforms, equipment and autonomous systems. This includes technologies to enable detection, neutralization, breaching, and clearing of explosive hazards from the beach exit to inland objectives. Efforts supported under Force Protection also include the demonstration of technologies such as Air Defense/Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (CRAM) and counter tactical surveillance and targeting, including pre-shot sniper detection, technologies in support of maneuver warfare, small unit distributed operations, and technologies for improved Personnel Protective Equipment for individual protection against blast, ballistic, and blunt impact threats. The increase in the Force Protection funding from FY 2013 to FY 2014 is due the initiation of a fusion of technologies project that will detect and classify optics, such as sniper scopes, from a moving platform.
