Technical Innovation Programs

Technical and Management Support

Client:

U.S. Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program

Challenge

The Department of Defense (DoD) faces growing environmental and operational challenges that include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and chemical contamination, energy reliability and resilience, unexploded ordnance, hazardous waste remediation, and other environmental risks to defense infrastructure. Through the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) programs, DoD invests in science and technology to advance mission resilience, environmental compliance, and military readiness. These programs require a technical partner to manage, evaluate, and communicate complex research and development efforts across a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Our Solution

Lindahl Reed delivers comprehensive technical, scientific, and management support to the SERDP and ESTCP programs, ensuring the efficient execution and oversight of cutting-edge environmental research and technology demonstration initiatives. Our responsibilities include:

  • Technical Review and SME Coordination: Coordinate and lead technical review meetings and peer evaluations with subject matter experts (SME) across environmental science, energy, infrastructure resilience, and materials engineering.
  • Scientific Expertise and Peer Review Support: Recruit and deploy SMEs to rigorously evaluate R&D proposals and projects on topics such as contaminant fate, PFAS treatment, energy systems, cost analysis, risk assessment, and corrosion control.
  • Program Website and Public Communications: Support the development of program content and updates for the SERDP/ESTCP public website, showcasing funded project outcomes and advancements.
  • Training and Knowledge Sharing: Provide training, document review, and communications support to expand the visibility and impact of DoD environmental innovation
  • Scalability and Technology Transfer: Assist with project documentation and knowledge-sharing to ensure the scalability and transferability of demonstrated technologies across the defense enterprise

Results & Impact

  • Advanced High-Impact Environmental Technologies: Enabled DoD to evaluate and disseminate research findings and demonstration results across critical energy, remediation, and infrastructure technologies across its installations and test ranges.
  • Supported Dozens of Peer Review Panels: Fulfilled SME support for dozens of peer review panels across energy systems, PFAS treatment, resilience planning, and hazardous waste remediation.
  • Ensured Program Compliance and Integrity: Maintained adherence to DoD technical review and knowledge dissemination standards.
  • Accelerated Innovation Deployment: Contributed to the readiness, scalability, and field implementation of technologies that improve environmental compliance and mission resilience.

Why It Matters

Lindahl Reed’s work enables DoD to bridge the gap between scientific research and operational readiness. By supporting SERDP and ESTCP, we ensure that promising environmental technologies are validated, scalable, and ready for deployment, advancing national defense, and environment compliance objectives in a rapidly changing threat environment.
