Joint Service Combat Feeding Technology
Abstract
This project investigates and develops 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 enhance 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 Program Element (PE) 0603001A/Project C07 for maturation. Efforts in this Project support the Army Science and Technology Soldier/Squad Portfolio. Work in this PE is fully coordinated with PE 0602787A (Medical 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 led, performed, and/or managed by the Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA, and this project has collaborative efforts with the Army Research Institute for Environmental Medicine.
