Biotechnology
Abstract
Shortages of domestically sourced raw materials and power and energy challenges demand alternative approaches to protect military capabilities from scarcity vulnerabilities. These biology-based solutions introduce new opportunities to reduce logistics and resource risk and improve technology-enabled military capabilities. The objective of this research area is to identify and use nature's biological principles in materials, biomechanics, bioenergy, bioelectronics, propulsion, and control to solve critical naval challenges. The resultant technologies provide solutions that are superior to those based on physical sciences and materials engineering approaches.
