The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) is soliciting on behalf of the U.S. Army Areomedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) is located in Fort Rucker, Alabama for information from potentially qualified businesses.

Background and Description of Required Work: INTRODUCTION U.S. Army Areomedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) is located in Fort Rucker, Alabama and is a subordinate research laboratory command under the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, located in Frederick, MD at Fort Detrick. USAARL aims to provide medical research in the military operations environment to sustain the Warfighter’s performance by delivering medical research, developing, testing, and evaluating solutions to air and ground Warriors. USAARL conducts medical research to develop and provide the biomedical basis for countermeasures that prevent and mitigate Warrior injury. Specifically, the Lab’s research includes developing return-to-duty standards for Soldiers suffering from neurosensory injuries, mild traumatic brain injuries, determining the effectiveness of life support equipment, and preventing and mitigating ground- and air-crew biomechanical injuries. Today, USAARL’s mission has expanded to cover research preventing and mitigating aviator and ground warrior injuries. However, the mission would not be accomplished without USAARL’s team of physicians, engineers, scientists, psychologists, pilots, and administrators. USAARL applies its medical, psychological, and physiological knowledge and skills to optimize systems for the end user – the U.S. Army Warfighter.
