Environment Sentinel Biomonitor Technology Assessment

Abstract

The U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research, with support from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, is developing an Environmental Sentinel Biomonitor (ESB) system to provide rapid toxicity identification for a broad spectrum of chemicals in water. A critical initial phase of the study was to test and evaluate toxicity sensor technologies (also called ESB system technologies). Because there were a number of potentially feasible technologies that could meet the goals of the ESB program, a downselection was performed to evaluate these technologies and select the most promising technologies for further development as part of an ESB system. The methodology and process to complete the downselection was developed with user representatives and technology experts. The methods and processes used produce repeatable, defensible, and justifiable investment decisions.
