Soldier combat ensemble

DST makes a vital contribution to the enhancement of the soldier combat ensemble through its role as a member of Diggerworks.

A truly fit-for-purpose soldier combat ensemble has been achieved, and continues to evolve, as part of an ongoing program of targeted enhancements and improved integration.

Science and technology has made an important contribution to this program through a user centred approach that has delivered timely evidence and stimulated opportunities for innovation, particularly in the area of advanced materials for personnel protection.
