CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (APPLIED RESEARCH)

Abstract

Funding under this program element (PE) sustains a robust defense program, which both reduces the danger of a chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) attack and enables U.S. forces to survive, and continue operations in a CBR environment. The medical program focuses on development of antidotes, drug treatments, casualty diagnosis, patient decontamination and medical technologies management. In the physical sciences area, the emphasis is on continuing improvements in CB defense materiel, including contamination avoidance, decontamination, and protection technologies. Research efforts are planned to be initiated for CB defense technologies that will result from a strategic approach of converging nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science. This PE also provides for applied research in the areas of real-time sensing and immediate biological countermeasures. The work in this PE is consistent with the Chemical Biological Defense Program Research Development and Acquisition (RDA) Plan. Efforts under this PE transition to or provide risk reduction for Advanced Technology Development (PE: 0603384BP), Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (PE: 0603884BP) and System Development and Demonstration (PE: 0604384BP). BA2 reductions in support of the DoD Efficiency Initiatives for FY12 include: Service Support Contracts reduced (-$7.626M). Efforts included in this Program Element address non-system specific development, directed toward military needs.
