Expeditionary Medicine Research & Development (Air Force)
Abstract
This project area identifies cutting edge techniques and technologies that can be employed by AF medics during contingency operations. Sub-project areas include: Expeditionary Logistics and Expeditionary Casualty Care. Expeditionary Logistics seeks to develop/validate novel procedures, materials, techniques, and tools to reduce size and weight, optimize power requirements, and minimize logistics footprint associated with expeditionary operations. It also examines ways to standardize equipment and supplies used by medical response teams because of the increasing number of missions that find teams from different countries working together. Expeditionary Casualty Care focuses on optimizing existing and developing new casualty care tools and techniques, improving methods and techniques for remote monitoring and triage systems, identifying and mitigating issues related to casualty care in an expeditionary setting, and validation of best-fit technologies in casualty care missions.
