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 the 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. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering 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.
