Biotechnology for Materials - Advanced Research
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) matures and demonstrates novel biotechnological methods, processes, and materials to enhance military supply chain resilience. The Army is responsible for centrally managing funding for Tri-Service Biotechnology for a Resilient Supply Chain (T-BRSC) efforts. T-BRSC leverages bio-industrial manufacturing to ensure critical domestic supply chain resilience for defense needs through domestic production of raw materials and critical products. The Army supports this Tri-Service effort under this PE with collaboration among sister Services and select allied partners to support a robust pipeline for biotechnology related manufacturing. Advanced research projects optimize and rapidly demonstrate future novel biotechnologies for disruptive breakthrough capabilities. This PE provides bio-engineered and biosynthetic materials to ensure domestic sourcing of critical products in the defense supply chain. Also under this PE, efforts mature and demonstrate rapid prototyping methods for rapid testing of bio-derived materials as well as optimize models for the design and bio-security of bio-engineered materials for defense applications. This PE is coordinated with PE 0602386A (Biotechnology for Materials - Applied Research). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
