OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Biotechnology OBJECTIVE: Develop a chemical warfare agent (CWA) disclosure spray system with the capability to visually disclose the location of blister CWA contamination on surfaces. DESCRIPTION: Warfighters need to remove blister CWA contamination as quickly as possible and to reduce the logistical burden to warfighters for decontamination processes, per ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Biotechnology OBJECTIVE: Develop a respirator lens that can provide visual correction on a polynomial curved surface (e.g. M50 respirator lens) with varied prescription strength as needed at either eye. DESCRIPTION: Most single-lens full facepiece air-purifying respirators (APR) are unable to provide vision correction via the primary lens of the respirator ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Biotechnology OBJECTIVE: The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) seeks to develop a ruggedized non-invasive real time physiological status monitor (RT-PSM) that can control an Army microclimate cooling system to mitigate thermal stress injuries, increasing mission performance and system efficiency. DESCRIPTION: Warfighters operating in non-permissive en ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Biotechnology OBJECTIVE: Develop a non-fluorinated chemical protective material that meets the Class 3 requirements set forth in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1994 standard. DESCRIPTION: The Government requires ensembles that will meet the requirements for Class 3 protection as defined in NFPA 1994, Standard for Protective Ensembles for Hazar ...
