DARPA WarriorWeb Program Support
Strategy: Envision means and methods for providing soldier overmatch capabilities. Effort incorporates: - Review of historical trends for dismounted fighting,
- Review extant and envision future technologies focused on dismounted overmatch,
- Study of the ethical implications involved with enhancement of the dismounted soldier,
- Requirements for tactical employment of dismounts in combat,
- Impact of information overload from network sources on dismounts and decision makers,
Technology: Advise, develop and improve upon specific technologies in support of warrior enhancement programs - Reduction of weight and improvement of efficiency for on-board power sources,
- Continued development of muscular-skeletal support mechanisms for soldiers (powered lower leg prosthetic, lower-body active-passive exo-skeleton, e.g.)
