Funds will be used to develop the Agent Fate Appropriate Response Operations Tool and Data Backbone. This uses indoor and outdoor experiments to help better protect troops against chemical warfare agents in the field. The program develops computer models that can accurately predict how long the chemicals will remain harmful after they are deployed.

Funds will be used for new technological developments in materials science, microelectronics, micro-fabrication, and drug delivery through nano-encapsulation and controlled release to develop an intelligent orthopedic fracture implant system (IOFIS) that promotes more complete healing, reduces rehabilitation time, and improves the long-term quality of life for both the injured soldier and civilian.
