Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP)

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Defend the Homeland, Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage, and Taking Care of People. The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program's (SERDP) mission is to improve DoD readiness and environmental performance by providing new scientific knowledge and developing cost-effective technologies. The SERDP does this by addressing high-priority DoD environmental technology requirements such as addressing 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‘s training and test ranges and installation infrastructure, and help ensure the safety and welfare of military personnel and their dependents. The keys to the 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.
