NECE OPERATIONAL SERVICES
TESTING & EVALUATION
 CONDUCT TESTING AND EVALUATION OF NEW
PEST CONTROL EQUIPMENT, PESTICIDES, AND
CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR MILITARY
SUITABILITY.
 PROVIDE EFFICACY MEASUREMENTS AS IT
RELATES TO PESTICIDE DISPERSAL EQUIPMENT
FOR SPECIFIC PEST CONTROL SITUATIONS.
 PROVIDE CALIBRATION AND OPERATIONAL &
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF PESTICIDE
DISPERSAL EQUIPMENT.
BACKGROUND
 IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, THE THREAT OF
VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES TO DEPLOYED
TROOPS HAS INCREASED.
 OIF BROUGHT HOME THE INADEQUACIES OF
CURRENT VECTOR CONTROL TOOLS AND
TECHNIQUES - 1400 CASES OF LEISHMANIASIS.
 DoD ESTABLISHED A NEW RESEARCH FUNDING
PROGRAM (DEPLOYED WAR FIGHTERS
PROTECTION).
