COVID-19: Biotech Innovators Pitch Army Rapid Test Kits BEFORE THE CRISIS!
The Army launched its Shark Tank-style xTechSearch before coronavirus hit, but several of the small firms competing for $1.2 million in prizes are working on ways to help.

siren2 WHO LET THE GENE OUT OF THE BOTTLE !!!! ???

The 2020 edition of Army’s Shark Tank-style competition for innovative technologies – with $1.7 million in prizes at stake this year, $1.2 million in this week’s round alone – started long before COVID-19 broke out in Wuhan, China. But with the Army acutely interested in advanced medical science, it’s understandable that several of the competitors are working on projects relevant to the coronavirus.

What about viruses that mutate every year, like the flu, or genetically engineered bioweapons that don’t match any natural pathogen? The device doesn’t need to match 100 percent of the RNA or DNA in the sample to a known bacterium, fungus, or virus, Sammons said. Instead, it looks for crucial pieces of genetic code that don’t mutate rapidly – some of which, she said, have remained unchanged for millions of years and would be present in any strain, whether naturally mutated or artificially engineered.

 Quoting: 310JAG 77071286


Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a method of estimating technology maturity of Critical Technology Elements (CTE) of a program during the acquisition process. They are determine during a Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) that examines program concepts, technology requirements, and demonstrated technology capabilities. TRL are based on a scale from 1 to 9 with 9 being the most mature technology. The use of TRLs enables consistent, uniform, discussions of technical maturity across different types of technologies. Decision authorities will consider the recommended TRLs when assessing program risk. [1,2]

The DoD TRL’s are defined in the table located in URL below

Fake test for sure, these rigged corona "tests" are all reporting 80% false positives...they will just say you HAVE IT, then mandatory vaccinations.
