CAPABILITIES PROVIDED IN FY 15–20 TIME FRAME
FY15-19 S&T/RDT&E REQUIRED FOR CURRENT INCREMENT PTD – Advanced lasers and algorithms for clutter rejection, target discrimination and integration (CERDEC) Targeting sensors – Networked and fused individual gunshot detection to improve shot localization (ARDEC/ARL) • Affordable electro-optical (EO) sensor modality to enhance threat detection performance and lower false-alarm rate (CERDEC) Multispectral laser – Rapid target acquisition capabilities (virtual reticle) (CERDEC) • Advanced laser and passive pointer technologies for improved target detection range and targeting (CERDEC) IISW – Intra-Soldier wireless technology selection and maturation to enable wireless connection of multiple end-user devices (CERDEC/NSRDEC) • Software-defined radio/government-owned waveform (CERDEC) CHUD – Assess and integrate see-through waveguide head-mounted display (HMD) technology (cognitive) (NSRDEC) • Advanced lightweight helmet-mounted display (CERDEC) – High-brightness, high-definition color devices – Conformal plastic waveguide optics
• Human systems integration of helmet-mounted sensor, i.e., ENVG, HMD (weight and balance, cognitive load, Soldier performance) (NSRDEC)
FUTURE GOAL

LETHALITY ENABLERS
TAKING THE LONG VIEW
This SMP integrated schedule for maneuver and lethality enablers illustrates just how deep the SE dives in its long-term planning. With each subsequent deep dive, the SE is refining how it lays out the integrated schedule for ease of understanding. (SOURCE: PEO Soldier)

to sustain an item is necessary to keep that current capability within the Army.
Te SMP takes the fundamentals of plan- ning as a materiel enterprise to a new level. Whereas the focus over the past 13 years of war has been primarily on get- ting the needed equipment to the Soldier
as quickly as possible to meet urgent needs, the SMP calls on all the mem- bers of the SE to pinpoint exactly where each of their pieces of the process will come into play. Tus they can see the impacts on people and programs if some aspect falls behind schedule or needs to be accelerated.
‘DEEP DIVE’ ASSESSMENTS Te SMP enables tracking of critical efforts out to 2048 through “deep dives” into the top nine Soldier capability gaps. Preparation for these deep dives, the first of which was in March 2013 at Fort Belvoir, VA, requires all the stakeholders to understand the others’ roles and
