Air & Space Force Health Protection (AF)

Abstract

This project delivers improved capabilities across the full spectrum of Air Force (AF) operations in the areas of directed energy and occupational and environmental health. Research involves the assessment and implementation of innovative technologies that enable effective surveillance, detection, identification, and mitigation of hazardous chemical, biological, directed energy, and other radiological and physical hazards that present a health risk to our Airmen and Guardians and threaten to degrade and disrupt operational readiness. The intent is to warn and protect AF operators, such as our high performance and high-altitude aircrews facing extreme environments. It transitions promising Science and Technology (S&T) from PE 0602115DHA’s Project Code 306D - Advanced Diagnostics & Therapeutics Research & Development - Medical and Operational Biosciences (AF), and civilian groups into knowledge and materiel products to inform risk-based decisions, enable policy decisions, and provide modern software and technology to enable the Force Health Protection mission in the future fight. Research within this project encompasses understanding, protecting against, and mitigating hazards to the warfighter health to include chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear or extremes of environment. Research within this project includes but is not limited to: force health protection in agile combat employment, emerging hazards, and infection control in patient movement.
