I guess my point was that I assumed that scrubber technology was pretty much played out, at least at the military leve. 1.6 million seems like a lot of money for R&D on basic scrubber techology, unless something new is in the pipeline.

The recreational scuba industry is just one of many industries that has needs for C02 scrubber technology. A simple review of the Micropore website sheds some light on this. Many of these applications have much tighter tolerances in weight/performance and related efficiencies.
