Sustainable Product Demonstrations
The Department of War (DoW) Sustainable Technology Evaluation and Demonstration (STED) Program identifies sustainable product need areas through outreach activities to DoW Installations, Military Departments and DoW Components. The DoW STED Program reviews these need areas to identify sustainable product test and evaluation (T&E) opportunities. The DoW STED Team then examines performance requirements, identifies sustainable demonstration products and performs product T&E in coordination with demonstration stakeholders.
