Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP)
Abstract
SERDP`s mission is to improve DoD mission readiness and environmental performance by providing new scientific knowledge and developing cost-effective technologies. SERDP does this by addressing high-priority DoD environmental technology requirements such as addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) contamination, developing fluorine-free fire suppression formulations, and improving corrosion resistance for weapons systems and platforms. Technologies developed by SERDP enhance military operations, improve military systems' effectiveness, enhance military training/readiness, sustain DoD ‘straining and test ranges and installation infrastructure, and help ensure the safety and welfare of military personnel and their dependents. The keys to growing list of SERDP technological successes are the ability to respond aggressively and proactively to priority defense environmental needs; the pursuit of world-class technical excellence; and an emphasis on continuous technology transfer.
