Environmental Restoration Technology
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates technologies transitioned from Program Element (PE) 0602720A (Environmental Quality Technology), Projects 835 and 896 by addressing the management and mitigation of materials and chemicals with focus on impacts of new materiel that will enter the Army inventory within the next decade and beyond; shape and protect Army investments in next generation fires by delivering proactive scientifically sound risk and environmental impact management strategies; environmental factors in mission planning activities impacting the battlefield landscape of future threats; and opportunities and impacts to mission success in sparse data environments, enabling mission planners to identify the industrial/commercial resources used as components of weapons development. Technologies matured within this Project inform the Army of potential environmental threats, opportunities and impact to mission; to understand the environmental threat in urban and industrial contested environments; and rapidly sense and assess the presence and extent of dangerous compounds in battlefield environments. A key aspect of this work is the enhancement of risk assessment and life cycle analysis techniques that can more accurately predict and identify the environmental liabilities associated with fielding new systems and technologies. Efforts also identify ways to economically comply with myriad federal, state, and host country regulations dealing with contaminated soil and water. This Project includes pilot scale field studies to demonstrate technological feasibility and optimize performance and productivity of the risk mitigation techniques. Work in this Project supports the Army Science and Technology Military Engineering and Environmental Technology, Simulation and Computing Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Priority for Network/C3I, Air Missile Defense, and Long Range Precision Fires, and supports the Army Strategy for the Environment.
