Joint Combat Feeding Technologies
Abstract
Beginning in FY16, Joint Combat Feeding Equipment and Food Protection Technologies and Ration Stabilization, Packaging, Novel Nutrient Delivery, and Food Safety Technologies will be combined and named to Joint Combat Feeding Technologies. This effort will investigate emerging food technologies to identify and develop stabilization techniques and nutrient compositions to maximize the Warfighter's cognitive and physical performance on the battlefield and minimizes nutritional degradation to optimize the Warfighter's health. This effort will investigate technologies in support of VSA to improve field detection and identification capabilities for the presence of chemical and biological threats in foods and fund research in new tools/sensors for food inspectors. This effort additionally investigates equipment and energy technologies to expand capability and reduce logistics footprint of Joint Service field feeding operations in a wide range of environmental and operational contexts.
