JOINT SERVICE COMBAT FEEDING TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
This project investigates, develops and evaluates novel ration packaging, combat feeding equipment/systems and advanced food processing technologies to prolong shelf-life. This project also investigates technologies that detect food safety hazards on the battlefield and enhances quality, nutritional content and the variety of food items in military rations. Efforts funded in this project support all Military Services, the Special Operations Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency. The Army serves as Executive Agent for this Department of Defense (DoD) program, with oversight and coordination provided by the DoD Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Board. Technologies developed within this effort transition to PE 0603001A/project C07 for maturation. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is led, performed, and/or managed by the US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA, and this project has collaborative efforts with the US Army Research Institute for Environmental Medicine.
