(2) micro/nanotechnology applicable to life support and protective devices
(3) protection against hypothermia/hyperthermia
(4) auxiliary or integrated human cooling and heating systems
(5) integrated helmet mounted displays, multi-mode helmet vision system technology
(6) advanced filter/device development for eye and / or sensor protection
(7) warfighter / equipment compatibility
(8) breathing systems and advanced concept approaches for current and future applications
(9) crash protection, advanced restraint systems (all axes of restraint), and seating concepts
(10) emergency egress/escape concepts such as but not limited to improved signaling/locating, thermal signature reduction, and day/night cloaking technologies
(11) integrated communications systems
(12) hearing protection and communication capabilities in high noise environments
(13) integrated flotation systems
(14) human strength enhancement technologies
(15) garment textiles/materials, flame resistant / melt-proof fibers, webbings, water-proof, high-stretch, breathable fabrics, durable, malleable, lightweight conductive-network fabrics, low-bulk/high flexibility vascular compression mechanisms for acceleration protection, fast-response cooling/heating textiles
