Biotechnology Demonstration and Evaluation
Abstract
This Project collaborates with Joint Service partners to mature, optimize, and demonstrate novel biotechnologies and related methods to establish a domestic resilient supply chain for defense needs. Advanced research validates and provides bio-derived, bio-functionalized, and bio-manufactured materials. This Project matures and demonstrates high-throughput screening and small-scale prototyping, enhances material performance, and exploits biotechnologies to provide drop-in replacements and materials with enhanced properties for defense applications. Areas of focus may include high-density, high-performance fuels for high-speed weapons, bio-based propellants, optical materials, and bio-derived systems that sense and respond to the presence of contaminants. Work in this Project compliments Program Element (PE) 0602386A (Biotechnology for Materials - Applied Research) / CP6 (Foundational Biotechnology Design and Dev) and PE 0604386A (Biotechnology for Materials - Demonstration and Validation (DEV/VAL)) / CQ9 (Biotechnology for Materials - Demonstration and Validation (DEV/VAL) Dem/Val). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
