Description
Market Research for research and development (R&D) efforts on various aspects related to Survivability, Assured Mobility, and Maneuver Support material solutions. The term Survivability encompasses those actions, materiel, and design solutions that give commanders occupant centric survivability through the maturation and integration of technology. Survivability technologies include, but are not limited to, armor, fire protection, hit avoidance, laser protection, countermine, active and passive protection systems, and occupant interior protection. The term "Assured Mobility" encompasses those actions, materiel, and design solutions that give commanders the ability to deploy, move, and maneuver assets where and when they desire, without interruption or delay, to achieve the mission. The imperatives and principles of Assured Mobility are what will enable future forces to have superior situational understanding and, therefore, unsurpassed freedom of movement in global terrain and climate profiles, including, but not limited to, tropical, arid, temperate, continental, and polar. The term "Maneuver Support" encompasses those actions, materiel, and design solutions that give commanders the ability to maintain an unprecedented level of freedom of movement at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels in all environments. Materiel items most relevant to Maneuver Support efforts include survivability, countermine, track and suspension, power management, robotics, bridging systems and combat engineer equipment for the freedom to maneuver through constructed obstacles, unstructured terrain, and for the interrogation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and route clearance (mobility and counter-mobility operations).
