SERDP and ESTCP develop and demonstrate innovative, scalable technologies that enhance military readiness, improve warfighter capabilities, and strengthen defense infrastructure. The programs prioritize common sense, cost-effective solutions that support operational effectiveness and reduce regulatory burdens at military installations. With more than 320 military bases that span a diverse range of geographic regions in the United States, the challenges that installations face are varied. For this reason, our portfolio matches the breadth and scope of these issues—from developing technologies that protect test and training lands, to demonstrating energy solutions that strengthen installations against disruptions to the commercial electric grid.
