The U.S. Army has transitioned its Chemical Hot Air Decontamination (CHAD) project to a Program of Record, aimed at improving the decontamination process for military equipment exposed to chemical agents.

Funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, CHAD utilizes heat, airflow, and humidity to safely decontaminate sensitive items, achieving non-detection times as short as two hours. The Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Protection will oversee the project's further development and testing.
