Nanomaterials Applied Research
Abstract
This effort conducts nanoscience research relevant to the Soldier focused on new materials, properties and phenomena in five research areas: (1) lightweight, multifunctional nanostructured materials and hybrid assemblies, (2) soldier medicine, (3) multiple blast and ballistic threats, (4) hazardous substances sensing, recognition, and protection, and (5) nanosystem integration for protected communications, diagnostic sensing, and operational flexibility in complex environments. This project funds collaborative applied research and integration of government, academic, and industry scientific research on nanomaterials derived from PE 0601104A/project J12 (Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN)) to advance innovative capabilities. This project sustains Army science and technology efforts supporting the Soldier portfolio. Work in this project builds on the materials research transitioned from PE 0601104A. This work complements and is fully coordinated with PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology), and PE 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi, MD and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the ISN industrial partners.
