Pollution Prevention

Abstract

Funds will be used to target R&D activities that demonstrate and prototype alternative weapon system manufacturing, remanufacturing, and maintenance materials and processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals, materials and waste streams through cost-effective programs and practices, while improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, funds target pollution prevention technologies that reduce or eliminate chromium, cadmium, and nickel, as well as reduce or eliminate Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Class I and II Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), global warmers and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and to increase the use of renewable and alternative fuels. This effort is in Budget Activity 04, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes, because the emphasis is on proving component and subsystem maturity prior to integration in major and complex systems and may involve risk reduction initiatives.
