ESTCP has selected thirty-six new start projects to begin in FY 2017. These projects responded to the FY 2017 ESTCP Environmental Technologies and Installation Energy and Water solicitations. Topics addressed by these projects include management and remediation of chemical contaminants; energy efficiency in military buildings; improved water use for industrial operations; munitions response in underwater environments; management of fugitive dust emissions; intercomparison of ecosystem models, and green manufacturing and maintenance of weapons systems and platforms.
The tables below list the FY 2017 ESTCP new start projects for Environmental Restoration, Energy and Water, Munitions Response, Resource Conservation and Resiliency, and Weapons Systems and Platforms. As project overviews become available, links from the project numbers will be provided below. Information on these and other SERDP and ESTCP projects is also available under Program Areas.
