  • THE SOLDIER: Centerpiece of the United States Army
    Torchbearer National Security Report � �llcrl.bicmFo Centerpiece ofthe United States Anny 15 October 2004 The U.S. Army continues to be a decisive component of America’s national security strategy and a critical part of the joint team. At the heart of the U.S. Army are its Soldiers—the centerpiece of its formations and the foundation of the nation’s combat power. At a House Armed Services Committee hearing in September 2004, Colonel Michael Linnington, who served as a 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) brigade commander in Iraq, testified: “It was not uncommon for my Soldiers to be rebuilding schools and medical clinics during the day and conducting mounted and foot patrols at night, or fighting insurgents in one part of town while assisting with elections in another. In all of these operations, our Soldiers performed magnificently with courage, dedication, selflessness, compassion and respect for the Iraqi people.” It is no wonder that TIME magazine, in its issue of 5 January 2004, named the American Soldier as the TIME “Person of the Year.” The American Soldier—active, Army National Guard, Army Reserve—has consistently embodied all that is good about America. We at AUSA understand and appreciate the values, contributions and sacrifices of our Soldiers. In recognition of their selfless and loyal service yesterday, today and tomorrow, our Council of Trustees is presenting the prestigious George Catlett Marshall Medal to the American Soldier on 27 October 2004 at the AUSA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. In this latest installment of AUSA’s signature Torchbearer series, we highlight the significance of America’s Soldiers to today’s Army and Joint Force and sound the clarion call to make them more effective and survivable by ensuring they have the necessary resources to conduct tough warrior-like training and receive state-of-the-art equipment before they deploy.

    I I • I i LANDPOWER ESSAY SERIES No. 96-5 June 1996 TAILORING THE TECHNO-WARRIOR by Richard J. Sterk "Our suits give us better eyes, better ears, stronger backs (to carry heavier weapons and more ammo), better legs, more intelligence, more firepower, greater endurance, less vulnerability . {T} his leaves you with your whole mind free to handle your weapons and notice what is going on around you ... which is supremely important to an infantryman who wants to die in bed," states a lowly grunt in Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 science fiction story Starshi p Troopers. In 1999 the U.S. Army is scheduled to produce its first fullyoperational integrated soldier system, with the purpose described by Heinlein forty years earlier. The U.S. Army's 21st Century Land Warrior is the lead program and technology developer for the overall Enhanced Land Warrior concept. Land Warrior is an integrated soldier system for dismounted infantry troops designed to keep pace with the Army's battlefield digitization efforts. It is also considered crucial to the individual digitization of the fighting soldier, aswell as to supporting the Force XXIvision in which the Army's goal is to field an operational digitized force by the year 2000. Force XXIis the Army's operational demonstration and experimentation with a large variety of new battlefield digitization concepts and technologies. In conjunction with the Army Research Laboratory, the Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM) is compiling a plan that defines the threats to the warfighting systems that integrate with Land Warrior and how to protect these digitized systems frompotential vulnerability.

    1 Soldier Modernization Market Segment Report February 2021 Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited. All Rights Reserved. 2 Introduction As part of Janes’ support of the New Hampshire Aerospace and Defense Export Consortium (NHADEC), Janes will provide a series of ten high-level market reports on subjects of NHADEC’s choosing as well as two in-depth market segment reports. This market segment market report focuses on the soldier modernization market and is comprised of the following elements: 1. Overview of the main aspects of soldier modernization 2. Ongoing programs 3. Market forecast 2021-2025 Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited. All Rights Reserved. Soldier modernization evolution 3 1990s-2000 2000s-2010 2010s-2020 2030s • Future soldiers programs have been in the making for decades, although the concept only started reaching maturity in the 1990s with the advent of France’s FELIN or the US Land Warrior and Objective Force Warrior. In the 1990s, most projects were still heavily influenced by Cold War type engagement scenarios with a strong focus on mechanized infantry. Technological ambitions were huge and envisioned the use of airburst type combined weapons by “super soldiers” fully networked, heavily armed, capable of dissimulating through adaptive camouflage and holograms and able to live of the land thanks to genetically altered seeds able to turn into edible vegetables in hours. • Of the different programs launched in the 1990s, only FELIN reached maturity, albeit in a much different form than originally conceived. The system started to be fielded by the end of the 2000s and made its debut in operations in Afghanistan in 2011.

  • 2005 Army Weapons System Handbook
    Science and Technology The Army Science and Technology (S&T) community is pursuing technologies to enable the Future Force and enhance the capabilities of the Current Force. Science and Technology The most important S&T programs are designated by the Headquarters of the Department of the Army (HQDA) as Army Technology Future Force Technology Areas Objectives (ATOs). ATOs are co-sponsored by the warfighter’s representative, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). ATOs lead to the development of S&T products within the cost, schedule, and performance metrics assigned when they are approved. Future Combat Representative ATOs and some other key efforts are included here to relate S&T program opportunities to systems development and Systems Technology demonstration, and acquisition programs. The larger and more complex ATOs—those associated with significant warfighter payoff—may also be designated as Army Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs) or Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)-approved Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs). The ATDs and ACTDs are major systems and component-level demonstrations designed to “prove” the technical feasibility and military utility of advanced technology. The ACTDs also provide a limited leave-behind capability for continued evaluation and use while a determination is made regarding whether a formal acquisition program should be pursued. The Army’s S&T investments have been articulated in terms of technology areas. The illustration at left depicts these technology areas in color bands that are relatively proportional to the Army investment in each area. The S&T section of this handbook is organized Future Force according to these technology areas, beginning with the Future Combat Systems (FCS) and ending with Advanced Simulation.
