Dahlgren, VA - DAHLGREN, Va. (Sept. 7, 2016) - Capt. Brian Durant and Amit Kapoor sign an exclusive license agreement authorizing First Line Technology LLC to manufacture Navy patented lifesaving decontamination technology for warfighters and first responders. The 'Dahlgren Decon' decontamination solution - developed to defend U.S. troops against chemical, biological, and radiological agents - is protected under several patents by Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). Durant, NSWCDD commanding officer, and Kapoor, First Line Technology president, emphasized the importance of the technology transfer that will equip first responders across the nation with technology to defend the public from hazardous threats. "This is the home run of technology transfer and doesn't happen without a lot of contributors," said Chris Hodge, NSWCDD scientist and Dahlgren Decon inventor, standing. Hodge and his team worked for more than a decade to develop and test this revolutionary response to chemical and biological warfare agents.
