5 CAPABILITIES REVIEW 5
6 Soldier Load Soldier Load is the cognitive and physical demand on the individual Soldier required to perform a task with given capabilities. Soldier burden is the negative impact on Soldier performance given the demands of the load. Research shows a negative correlation between excessive loads and performance. Excessive loads could result in a loss of fighting effectiveness with potential individual and / or small unit mission failures. Squad Leader Physical Load lbs + = Combat Stress Lack of Sleep Information Overload Demands from Higher HQ Multiple Simultaneous Tasks Physical Load Cognitive Burden Soldier Load 6
7 SOLDIER PROTECTION SYSTEM Description: The SPS integrates lighter hard armor plates, soft armor ballistics, pelvic protection, modular helmets, blast sensors for the body, transitional eye protection, and, improved hearing protection. Each piece of equipment is designed to function and complement other parts of the system, yet function independently. The SPS VTP (front and back hard body armor plates) shall provide the appropriate level of ballistic protection than the current baseline suite of torso (ESAPI and XSAPI) plates. The SPS VTP (side hard body armor plates) shall provide the same or better ballistic protection than the current baseline suite of (ESBI and XSBI) side plates. Torso Extremity Protection (TEP) Integrated Soldier Sensor System (ISSS) Transitional Combat Eyewear Program (TCEP) Tier 1: Concealable Tier 2: Low Profile Concealable Tier 3: Plate Carrier Concealable Carrier Tactical Carrier Carrier Soft Armor Soft Armor Soft Armor Ballistic Inserts Ballistic Inserts Ballistic Inserts ESAPI Front & ESAPI Front & Back Plates Back Plates ESBI Side Plates Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) Tier 4: Full Tactical System Tactical Carrier Soft Armor Ballistic Inserts ESAPI Front & Back Plates ESBI Side Plates Ballistic Combat Shirt Blast Pelvic Protector Load Distribution System Passive Hearing Protection Basic Configuration High Threat Turret Configuration 7

16 Power Generation & Conversion Small Unit Power Generation Instrumental to Small Unit Power (SUP) success Generating power required forward in the Area of Operations Seamlessly interfacing their systems with a variety of energy sources Ability to monitor individual and SUP systems energy status Soldier provide supplemental power to the conformal battery extending time between battery exchanges, (Energy Harvesting/Scavenging) On the Move recharging Kinetic or Mechanical capability Warfighter locomotion 25-50W Energy Harvesting Power Generation Wearable Fuel Cells - Up to 50W power, small/compact, lightweight - Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), Aluminum Hydride (Alane), Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC), Methanol (MeOH), other? Squad - Provide sources of power in austere environments, (Renewables) W renewable power source (solar?) Next generation power source (Need to have other solutions besides solar.) Platoon provide sufficient energy to recharge and power all Platoon equipment, (Power Generation) Efficient Multi-fuel Power Generator or Power Cell that provides (Quiet,<50dBA at 7 meters)1.5kw(+) <15lbs Next Gen Power Source (Silent) <10lbs Power Generation over 2.5kW Other solutions besides an Internal Combustion engine - generator! More power generated at the lowest echelons reduces demand for resupply from the next higher echelon 16
17 Power Duration/Energy Storage Soldier Carried Batteries/Capacitors Fundamental to Small Unit Power (SUP) success is reducing the number and types of batteries a Soldier is required to carry. Advanced electrochemical materials Increased energy densities Quick recharge <3hrs Increase power output of power sources (greater power/less weight) Primary batteries 20-30% increase in power output (current 400Whr) Rechargeable batteries 20-30% increase in power output (current 150Whr) Increased duration of power output Lightweight 2.6lbs (current weight Conformal Wearable Battery) Soldier Carried Batteries Smart Batteries Provide Status of Charge indicator (SoC) Provide Status of Health indicator (SoH) Regulate/Control power Input/output 17
18 Power Duration/Energy Storage Soldier Carried Batteries/Capacitors Future Soldier systems and equipment must address power demands by making powered systems more Energy efficient. Must be able to interface with Standard Family of Batteries Must be able to interface using Radio Power Adapters (RPA) Radios and other Soldier core systems must reduce power demand by 30% Battery Charging Next Gen Universal Battery Charger Rapid charge universal battery charger Reduce Charge Time <3hrs Supercharge batteries Radios represent the single-most power hungry device carried by an Infantry Platoon. Main driver of the power demand signal at the Platoon level. Future power solutions must provide interoperable interfaces between Soldier systems and infrastructure and vehicle-mounted energy systems. 18
19 Power Management & Distribution Power Distribution Cableless/Wireless Power Transfer A wireless power network is the long-term vision for combat formations. MCoE is pursuing an incremental approach to facilitate transition over time. Soldier Integrated Soldier Power and Data System Core (ISPDS-C) is the baseline system to build upon Platform Elimination of cables (E Textiles) 1 meter radius wireless power transfer from Core power storage device, (currently Conformal Wearable Battery), to Soldier Core systems and powered equipment. Contact/Wireless point charging Contact/Wireless 6 (internal) Proximity 5 (External) Wireless System Integration Challenge: How do we make our systems wireless without massive degradation in efficiency? Can Power and Data be combined into a single wireless network? NSA Classification Challenges Power solutions must meet the growing electrical demands in the smallest and lightest means possible. 19
20 Lightening the Soldiers Load Central to Small Unit Power requirements is the need to reduce the cognitive and physical demand on the individual Soldier. Reduce Increase Size and Weight of power systems Systems power demand Battery Types Multiple components/systems Power Source duration Energy Storage capacity Sustainable Energy Energy Efficiency Multi-Purpose equipment/systems Multi-Purpose items of equipment or mission-command platforms that keep overall capability but reduce physical or cognitive load Unmanned systems interoperability/universal control (SUAS, Ground Robotics), i.e. Universal Controller, HGCS Multi-Purpose communications i.e. Multi-Channel/Multi-Band radio Power/Data management & distribution Commonality of Soldier carried energy sources to increase operational agility and flexibility as well as reduce load and sustainment requirements. 20

22 Questions? 22
23 AIRBORNE EQUIPMENT Airborne Forces desire the following: Flotation System which will be: Used for both airborne and waterborne operations. Will not interfere with the parachute harness rigged with combat and equipment. Must be lighter and smaller than the current system; rugged, reusable, highly reliable and capable of being operated by an inexperienced Soldier. Will be used for unintentional and intentional water landings. T11-R Automatic Activation Device (T-11R AAD) that automatically activates the reserve parachute of a paratrooper who is unable to activate their reserve on their own: Will not interfere with or affect any existing equipment with the exception of the reserve canopy and container. Will allow for the ability to manually deploy reserve canopy without changing current procedures. Compatible with the current Advanced Tactical Parachute System (T-11 and MC-6). 24
24 AIRBORNE EQUIPMENT (Cont d) Airborne operations require an improved capability for the recovery, assembly, and accountability from geographical dispersions on a drop zone by a unit. This capability will increase the speed in which Airborne units can recover equipment, assemble and move off the drop zone to complete missions with maximum amount of combat personal and equipment. It is desired that the system be: Simple to use Inexpensive Encrypted and prevents spoofing and hamming Hardened/Ruggedized Flexible in terms of ease in assigning receivers to beacons Capability must be compatible with NETT-Warrior 25
