Project Scope
|
The NRC will establish an ad hoc study committee to examine these requirements. The committee will :
-- Determine the elements of overmatch capabilities necessary for a dismounted soldier to be a decisive weapon on the battlefield, Consider both the individual soldier as well as the soldier as part of a small (squad-size or smaller) unit.
-- Identify technical requirements for optimizing soldiers and small units to achieve overmatch capabilities on the battlefield. Consider technology and societal trends that may affect the balance between U.S. forces & adversaries both now and in future years.
-- Identify near-term, mid-term and far-term technologies in which new or enhanced S&T investments would facilitate the development of decisive soldier capabilities.
-- Determine the relative importance of such investments in making the soldier decisive on future battlefields.
The project is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The approximate start date for the project is 5 May 2011.
A report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 14 months.
