Foundational Biotechnology Design and Dev
Abstract
This Project works collaboratively with Joint Service partners to investigate and determine novel biotechnology methods and processes to establish a domestic resilient supply chain for defense needs. Applied research designs and conducts experiments on bio-derived, bio-functionalized, and bio-manufactured materials and biosynthetic precursors. Efforts under this Project investigate and validate models for design of defense applications. Areas of focus may include reclamation or sequestration of rare Earth/critical elements in the defense supply chain and drop-in replacements for currently employed military materials. This Project is coordinated with PE 0603386A (Biotechnology for Materials - Advanced Research) / CP7 (Biotechnology Demonstration and Evaluation). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command (AFC).
