Pollution Prevention Technology
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates pollution prevention advanced technologies required for sustainable operation of Army weapon systems, to include compliance with regulations mandated by federal, state, and local environmental and health laws. Technology thrusts under this project include demonstration of advanced technologies to enable sustainment of propellant, explosive and pyrotechnic production and maintenance facilities and training ranges through elimination or significant reduction of environmental impacts. These technologies will ensure that advanced energetic materials required for future force's high performance munitions are developed that meet weapons lethality and survivability goals and that are compliant with environmental and health laws. Technology thrusts also include demonstration of more sustainable technologies for surface finishing processes, paints and coatings, cleaning solvents, refrigerants and fire suppressants. Work in this Project supports the Army Science and Technology Innovation Enablers (formerly Enduring Technologies) Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy and supports the Army Strategy for the Environment. The Project is fully coordinated and complementary to Program Element (PE) 0602720A, Project 895. This Project transitions technologies developed under that PE. Work in this Project is performed by the Research, Development, and Engineering Command Army Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, the Armaments Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center, Redstone Arsenal, AL, and the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, Warren, MI in conjunction with the Army Public Health Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
