Forward-deployable, rugged diagnostic tools with near instantaneous results, like USFP, are designed to enable far-forward treatment in austere, remote locations to save lives and return service members to duty with minimal delay. As part of DHA, OPMED partners with stakeholders across the Joint Force to develop, acquire, and field medical devices, treatments, and frontline care solutions for military medical providers to fill capability gaps with the speed of relevance.
