FROM STRATEGY TO SOLUTIONS
Command], they can start working those requirements,” Freeman explained.
As part of this strategy, Freeman
explained that Army S&T has already received more than 1,000 proposals in response to its rapid BAA soliciting con- cepts and solutions from industry.
The proposals thus far have been in response to the top 10 identified chal- lenges presented to industry at the AUSA Annual Meeting last fall. Nine of these challenges are being developed as TEC-Ds and were presented to indus- try as
part of an ongoing dialogue,
Freeman said. The TEC-Ds under development include:
Force Protection – Basing, described as a plan to formulate an S&T program to reduce the percentage of Soldiers needed to set up a base and protect against threats, including small arms, indirect fires, air-delivered weapons, and chemical biological explosives in austere, restricted terrains.
Force Protection – Soldier and Small Unit, to improve individual protec- tion for male and female Soldiers at reduced total weight and heat stress, while enabling increased physical and mental agility, particularly over extended periods.
Occupant Centric Platform, to develop technologies and know-how to optimize force protection, crew effec- tiveness, mobility, and transportability for ground vehicles.
Overburden – Physical Burden, to significantly reduce the weight and volume of all items that individual Soldiers in a small unit must carry to accomplish their missions, while main- taining or increasing the unit’s ability to perform tasks, whether operating dismounted or in vehicles.

Surprise/Tactical
Intelligence – Mis-
sion Command, to better enable squads to achieve tactical
over-
match (increased lethality, protection, mobility, situational awareness, and mission accomplishment).
Surprise/Tactical Actionable
Intelligence – Intelligence, to provide
small units with tools and training to efficiently collect, process, exploit, and disseminate data to support situ- ational awareness and decision making without adding more Soldiers or sig- nificantly increasing the weight or number of devices.
Sustainability/Logistics – Basing, to increase self-sufficiency, reduce supply
TESTING GROUND
Technology Enabled Capability Demonstrations will take place in experimental venues, such as the Army’s Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE). Here, SGT Byron Arnold of 1st Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment demonstrates the Nett Warrior system at the McKenna Military Operations in Urban Terrain site, Fort Benning, GA, in preparation for AEWE training, Sept. 22, 2011.

demands, and reduce waste at com- bat outposts, patrol bases, and small forward operating bases, and improve the ability to sustain the small unit for the duration of
the mission at
lower cost and lower risk to suppliers, without adversely impacting Soldiers’ availability for the primary mission (troop-to-task ratio).
Human – Individual Training to Tacti- cal Tasks, to develop adaptive training methods that enhance the ability to monitor and track Soldiers’ learning needs; assess and diagnose problems; guide Soldiers through training events; provide effective performance feedback; select appropriate instructional strate-
