The work involves “molecular assessment sensing technologies for individuals in operational environments for improved human performance and protection in real-time capabilities.”

The idea is to work with the Air Force Research Laboratory to help airmen do their jobs more effectively.

“This is an exciting win for UES, allowing us to continue our work in integrative health and human performance research,” Stephaney Shanks, who will lead the effort for UES, said in a release from the company.

The work will provide UES and the Air Force the opportunity to develop critical sensing and assessment solutions, UES said.
