Army of Today

• Incremental Improvements - Op Tempo
• C4I
• Night Vision Goggles
• Laser Aiming Systems
• Thermal Binoculars and Weapon Sights
• Personal Role Radios
• Lethality
• Midlife Small Arms optimisation
• Close Combat Non Lethal Systems
• Many Weapons Unforecasted Operational Requirements

Army Of TomorrowINTEGRATED SOLDIER SYSTEM

• The Integrated Soldier System Project (ISSP)
  project will build upon advances made with the
  CTS project to significantly enhance individual
  and team Lethality, Mobility and C4I in the
  future digitized battlespace

10
ISSP Aim
To field a modern integrated system of electronic
devices, weapons accessories, operational
clothing and individual equipment capable of
operating in complex terrain, that meets the
needs of the Land Force Warfighter in the network
enabled, command centric, effects based digitized
battlespace
11
ISSP - Transformational

• Advance the CTS Baseline
• Enhance, Integrate and Balance capability areas
• C4I
• Lethality
• Mobility
• Survivability
• Sustainability

Major Activities
ISSP Option Analysis

• RD Technology Demonstrations SIREQ, SIHS, CB
• Establish interoperability opportunities with
  Allies through participation in NATO Topical
  Group 1
• Market research studies
• Buy and Try potential technologies
• Validate/update requirements based on SIREQ
  SIHS TDs
• Develop a Soldier System Roadmap RD
  technologies
• Determine Implementation based on up to 3 Builds
• Examine costs, benefits and life-cycle cost
  implications
• Select preferred option
• Prepare Capital Decision Documents

17
ISSP Key Milestones

• 1. Initial Deficiency approved 1 Nov 88
• 2. Initial SOR (IPCE), 10 Jul 95
• 3. Updated Deficiency approved 11 Jan 01
• 4. Update Funding Project Charter
• 5. Options Analysis complete, Jun 05
• 6. Preliminary Approval, Mar 06
• 7. Effective Approval Mar 09
• 8. Initial Capability FY 09/10
• 9. Full Capability FY 16/17

18
ISSP Initial Thoughts

• Build on CTS, broaden team
• Detailed ISSP Timeline based on CTS
• Envisage 3 Builds over 10 years
• Three separate Build Freezes (2007,2010,2013)
• Implement, Define, RD at same time
• Linkage to Future Small Arms Project
• Leads to Soldier System 2020
