### Project BT-01 — BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

The Biomedical Technology Program Element (PE) focuses on applied research for medical related technologies that will maintain warfighter health and performance before, during, or after operations. Successful technologies within this Program Element will maintain warfighter health against emerging threats through novel biothreat detection, rapid medical countermeasure identification and development, and distributed production of effective therapeutics. In-theater, warfighter health will be maintained through the development of field-relevant technologies such as reliable and accessible critical medical resources, novel detection and protection capabilities for traumatic brain injury, and rapid, effective triage of battlefield injuries. Technologies are also being developed to provide new capabilities for warfighter recovery from sustained injury including but not limited to spinal cord injury. Additionally, this PE will improve warfighter readiness by characterizing and assaying physical and cognitive performance to drive data-driven awareness. This PE also supports innovation and robust transition planning in the technology cycle by working with entrepreneurs to increase the likelihood that DARPA-funded technologies take root in the U.S. and provide new capabilities for national defense. Beginning in FY 2026, efforts in this PE will be funded in PE 0602024E, Warfighting Performance.
