- Description
- The Munitions Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Eglin AFB, FL BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR TACTICAL CAPABILITIES FOR BATTLEFIELD AIRMAN AND SECURITY FORCE, MNK-BAA-06-0003 is hereby amended. The following information is provided to expand the research area of Tactical Electrical Energy to include Personnel Protection Gear of the Occupants: Tactical Electrical Energy The goal of this work is to perform component and vehicle research in the areas of: advanced battery development, power management, and integrated vehicle design and body armor. The objective is to develop highly mobile, quiet, lightweight, electrical vehicles for SOF, Security Forces, and Battlefield Airman personnel. This work also includes the analysis, design, and assessment of electrical power systems for their use at deployed or remote locations. The capability of deploying and moving electrical power on the battlefield is mission essential. This research on mobile, electrical power should also be considered for use with other government agencies and organizations. The efforts described may require individual component level development as well as fabrication to develop a mobile power capability. “Personnel Protection Gear” In support of the original goal of MNK-BAA-06-0003, it is also intended research should include the armor worn by the vehicle occupants. Weight is a key factor in delivering capabilities to the battlefield, which includes the combined weight of the vehicle, supplies, and troops. The design should take into account the ability to interchange vehicle body armor for personnel armor and visa verse. The solution should be an integrated design. Therefore, the objective is to include not only vehicle armor, but the armor carried by the troops and the design and fabric of the protective clothing that could incorporate the interchangeable armor. There is also an objective to incorporate low power electrical sensors, devices, etc. into the fabric and armor plating to provide commander’s with tactical C4ISR information about power management and system health status. Care and design considerations should be taken with respect to tactical vehicles used by SOF troops. New or modified equipment (material) should not inadvertently ground the vehicle or generate electrical interferences.
