The Future Soldier System: An Energy Perspective, Robert J. Bunker

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

The Soldier Integrated Protective Ensemble (SIPE) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) has proven to be an ambitious and farsighted project. It is based on a modular subsystem approach which paves the way toward the development of a head-to-toe integrated fighting system for the dismounted infantry soldier. This system is composed of the soldier and everything worn, consumed and carried for use in a tactical environment. Having successfully proven itself, the SIPE ATD will now transition into follow-on programs which will field and demonstrate soldier system prototypes.
