Environmental Quality Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) investigates and evaluates enabling technologies that support the long-term sustainment of Army training and testing activities by improving the Army's ability to comply with requirements mandated by federal, state and local environmental/health laws and reducing the cost of this compliance. This program develops enabling technologies to decontaminate or neutralize Army-unique hazardous and toxic wastes at sites containing waste ammunition, explosives, heavy metals, propellants, smokes, chemical munitions, and other organic contaminants (Project 048); as well as technology to avoid the potential for future hazardous waste problems (Project 835), by reducing hazardous waste generation through process modification and control, materials recycling and substitution (Project 895). This program develops technologies to predict and mitigate range and maneuver constraints associated with current and emerging weapon systems, doctrine, and regulations (Project 896). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, the Army Science and Technology Master Plan, and supports the Army Strategy for the Environment. Technologies developed in this PE are transitioned to PE 0603728A (Environmental Quality Technology Demonstrations). Work in this PE is performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS, and the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Project F355 funds Congressional Interest Items.
