Joint Combat Feeding Technologies

Abstract

Beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, Joint Combat Feeding Equipment and Food Protection Technologies and Ration Stabilization, Packaging, Novel Nutrient Delivery, and Food Safety Technologies will be combined and named Joint Combat Feeding Technologies. This effort designs and develops stabilization techniques and nutrient compositions to maximize the Warfighter's cognitive and physical performance while minimizing nutritional degradation to optimize the Warfighter's health on the battlefield. This effort investigates technologies in support of DoD VSA to enhance field detection and identification capabilities of chemical and biological threats in foods. This effort supports the design and development of new threat detection tools and sensors for food inspectors. This effort additionally investigates equipment and energy technologies to expand the capability and reduce the logistics footprint of Joint Service field feeding operations in a wide range of environmental and operational contexts. This work is coordinated with PE 0602787A/Project 869 and PE 0603001A/Project C07.
