Biotechnology for Materials - Dem/Val
Abstract
This Project will create a pipeline to down-select promising biotechnology capabilities towards fielded novel solutions for warfighter needs by enabling prototyping at an efficiency and speed greater than is currently possible, through integration of "cutting-edge" instrumentation and robotics in laboratory and armament/warfare centers/depots testing & evaluation systems. T-BRSC will deliver biotechnology advanced evaluations that exhibit Defense supply chain resiliency by providing alternative means of sourcing critical materials (e.g. jet fuel precursors, energetic precursors, lubricants, epoxies, anti-fouling compounds, recovery of rare earth elements) for transition into service acquisition programs. T-BRSC's comprehensive DoD investment strategy will develop the necessary biotechnology pipeline from demonstration and prototyping to manufacture and fielding, to reduce the risk of technological overmatch by adversaries and enable U.S. military and national security objectives for the future. This will provide Supply Chain Resiliency to the U.S. military, while enabling U.S. industry to support military and national security objectives, as well as de-risking cross-cutting and dual-use technologies necessary to drive commercialization and promote the U.S. Bioeconomy to compete with adversaries. Work in this Project complements 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 Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Enterprise.
