MATERIALS AND BIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The Materials and Biological Technology Program Element is budgeted in the Applied Research Budget Activity because its objective is to develop materials and biological technologies that make possible a wide range of new military capabilities. The major goal of the Materials Processing Technology project is to develop novel materials, fabrication and processing techniques, models, devices and components that will lower the cost, increase the performance, and/or enable new missions for military platforms and systems. Included in this project are efforts across a wide range of technology areas including manufacturing, electronics, sensors, optics, and complex and autonomous systems. The Biologically Based Materials and Devices project will leverage the growing application space of the biological sciences for the development of new DoD capabilities in materials development, threat detection, and warfighter performance. Contained in this project are thrusts that apply biology's unique synthesis capabilities to source DoD-relevant materials and overcome current limitations in accessing, scaling, and distributing critical resources to achieve overmatch. Programs in this project also enable in situ and stand-off detection and mitigation of biological, chemical, traditional, and emerging threats against the warfighter, the food supply, and other targets. This project also includes efforts to develop novel biological technologies for maintaining human combat performance.
