Agile Combat Support

This Civil Engineering (CE) Readiness project develops Airbase Technologies (ABT), Airfield Damage Repair (ADR), Airfield Protection (AP), Energy & Utilities (E&U), and CE Materials (CEM) solutions for in-garrison, expeditionary, and contingency installations and airbases. This includes: technologies for airfield assessment, pavement repair and unexploded ordnance identification and mitigation to enable rapid recovery and regeneration of airfield operations; infrastructure design criteria, construction methods, hardened shelters, evaluation tools, materials, aviation firefighting, force protection, expeditionary energy, waste water recycling/treatment, CE materials applications and systems for improved resiliency and rapid recovery of airbase and airfield operations following an attack. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F.

Aeromedical Readiness provides key aeromedical devices, life-saving capabilities and quality of life technologies and equipment. This program enables the critical care of combat casualties by further developing and optimizing existing technologies for ground Expeditionary Medical Systems (EMEDS) and aeromedical evacuation systems. EMEDS and aeromedical evacuation systems provide the urgent care needed to treat deployed injured warfighters and return them to duty while in country, and to treat combat casualties that need to be safely transported to a stateside hospital for follow on treatment. The program also supports critical capabilities development in the multi-disciplinary areas for light-weight, durable, and rapidly deployable medical equipment to ensure the Air Force is poised to meet future medical readiness and operational requirements, to include but not limited to Endovascular Aortic Control (EVAC), Pathogen Detection Capability, Automated Vision Testing, Whole Blood Transport and other FDA approved medical treatment devices. This program supports projects ranging from research efforts to optimize human physiologic, modernizing the standards used to measure aircrew, crew stations, and personal protective equipment and cognitive performance for Air Combat Command, to development of patient isolation and transportation devices for Air Mobility Command that enable aeromedical evacuation of patients suffering with highly infectious diseases. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F.
