Biotechnology for Challenging Environments
Abstract
The Biotechnology for Challenging Environments program will develop novel biological solutions to enable warfighter operations in remote and extreme environmental conditions. As the DoD expands operations into previously inaccessible domains, new and unique logistical constraints imposed by extreme conditions and resource scarcity threaten force readiness. This program will develop technologies to enable new capabilities that harness microbes, biopolymers, and/or other bioprocesses to protect warfighters and maintain performance of warfighting platforms, such as electronics and infrastructure, from challenging environments. Technology advances developed in this effort will enable extended mission duration, resilient warfighting platforms, and enhanced operational capabilities for emerging domains.
