Mission & acquisition strategy

The purpose of this program is to develop biomedical equipment and related techniques to reduce morbidity; to enhance the logistic feasibility of modern medical care for combat casualties; to sustain casualties for evacuation to fixed medical facilities for definitive care; and to ensure that personnel are medically qualified for military duty. Each work unit undertaken in this project has a military requirement. Efforts are justified based upon military payoff and cost benefit. There is a strong potential for dual use, technology transfer, and biotechnology firms/industry participation in the projects.

The acquisition strategy for product lines and products in the Medical Development Program is designed and implemented consistently with the purpose of the particular product and with the nature and size of the investment. The major Product Areas in the Medical Development Program are: 1) Equipment, 2) Pharmaceuticals/Biologics, and 3) Operational Knowledge/Concepts. The primary Program Areas of Interest are: 1) Optimize health, performance, and resilience of the ready and forward operating forces; 2) Enhance medical logistics; 3) Reduce mortality and morbidity from battlefield and mission-related injuries in support of Navy Health Services Support in Terrestrial, Maritime Surface, Submarine, and Aviation Operations and USMC in Expeditionary…
