Integrate outcomes from retrospective data analysis to inform study approach. Identify and document emerging use cases for predictive analytics for blast mitigation strategies, such as application in enclosed environments or various training conditions.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increase reflects development of a pathway to address the Army multifaceted strategy for total force readiness and mitigation of the blast exposure health effects.
