Bio-enabled Materials and Processes
Abstract
This effort conducts applied research through the application of biotechnology advances to develop materials with capabilities to respond and adapt to a wide range of external stimuli and biological processes. Investment in bio-enabled materials research allows for the design of materials that are capable of sensing and responding, as well as adapting to a broad spectrum of environmental variables with the ability to self-monitor, self-heal, and self-sustain. Investments in this area could lead to future applications in Soldier performance, situational awareness, protection and sustainment. Research from this effort has potential to transition to multiple end items and applications.
