This BAA contains many areas directly related to ITI research. Topics of interest in this announcement:
Food & Rations for Austere Environments

• Protective equipment & Injury diagnostic / assessment tools (including modeling & simulations)
• Multi-function materials / nanotechnology

Lots of Modeling & Simulation 

• Individual Ground Soldier & Small Unit (Natick)
• Cognitive workload

SOLDIER PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

• Body-Worn Systems, Hand Held Devices, Smart-Lightweight Electronic Components, and Information processing (Dr. Darkow at Natick)
• Biomechanics: There is a need for detailed information on the forces acting on the Soldiers’ musculoskeletal system as well as how their gait, range of motion, rates of movement, energy expenditure, stamina, and ability to detect and react to threats are affected by their load and its distribution on the body, the terrain and grade of the environment, and obstacles presented by the environment. (Mr. John Ramsay, Natick)
• Anthropometry (Ms Karen Gregorczyk – she spoke at our Iowa Virtual Human Summit)
• Warrior Performance: Concentration on the cognitive aspects of individual warrior performance is lagging. (Dr. Caroline Mahoney, Natick)
• Power sources
• Technology Assessment and Simulation Tools
• Biotechnology
• Medical Simulation
