Fundamental science and engineering research is the centerpiece
of the ISN mission. Designing the soldier system of the future
is a formidable task that requires a range of experts, from
chemists to mechanical engineers. ISN research is divided into
three broad capability areas that cross disciplinary boundaries:
protection; injury intervention and remediation; and human performance
improvement.
Team-based innovation is a key part of the ISN approach to
solving problems like protecting tomorrow's soldiers from
chemical and
biological weapons. Five Strategic Research Areas
address various
aspects of the challenge through 27 specific
research projects.
Those Strategic Research Areas are:
Strategic Research Area
01: Light Weight, Multifunctional Nanostructured Fibers
and Materials
Strategic Research Area
02: Biomedical Research Enabling Integrated Systems of Nanotechnologies for Soldier Protection
Strategic Research Area 03: Blast
and Ballistic Protection
Strategic
Research Area
04: Nuclear, Analyte, and IED Detection and Protection
Strategic Research Area 05: Nanosystems
Integration
