The EQT program uses economic analysis to identify the best projects for funding based on mission and environmental urgency, potential cost-avoidance, investment costs, and program risk. EQT facilitates technology development, improvement and transfer
To cover the wide array of environmental disciplines, the EQT Program has four technological focus areas including environmental restoration, munitions management, sustainable infrastructure, and weapons systems and platforms.
Environmental Restoration
Technologies for the cost-effective detection, characterization, containment, and remediation of contamination in soil, sediments, and water.
Munitions Management
Detection, discrimination, and remediation technologies for Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) from closed, transferred, and transferring ranges; active range clearance and reduced generation of UXO during live fire operations.
Sustainable Infrastructure
Technologies required to sustain training and testing ranges and installation infrastructure that supports those ranges as well as the deployed forces. Includes natural resources, facilities, and cultural resources.
Weapons Systems & Platforms
Technologies and materials that reduce the waste and emissions associated with the manufacturing, maintenance, and use of weapons systems and platforms to reduce future environmental liabilities and their associated costs and impacts.
