The document summarizes the process and goals of a workshop on integrating human and system capabilities for future soldier systems. The workshop aimed to identify key integration challenges, potential solutions, and areas for research and development collaboration across industry, government, military, and academia. Participants discussed challenges related to physical, cognitive and external integration, then proposed solutions and enabling technologies. They identified priority technologies requiring further R&D and potential collaborators.
