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 (was TB2, TC2, TR2, but in FY13 these continue within one project, TM2) focuses on the development of antidotes, drug treatments, disease surveillance and point-of-need diagnostic devices, patient decontamination and medical technologies management. The Medical Countermeasures Initiative (MCMI) (was in TB2, but it too continues in FY13 in TM2, consistent with consolidation of the medical program) was established to provide the capability for the advancement of regulatory science and flexible manufacturing of biological MCM to address CBR threats, including novel and previously unrecognized, naturally-occurring emerging infectious diseases. In the physical sciences area, the emphasis is on continuing improvements in CB defense materiel, including contamination avoidance, decontamination, and protection technologies, as well as biological weapon/agent surveillance. NT2 consolidated all efforts related to NTAs, including medical pretreatments, therapeutics, detection, threat agent science, modeling, and protection and hazard mitigation. 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. The PE also provides for applied research in the areas of real-time sensing and immediate biological countermeasures. Key efforts within this PE are in support of the FY14 policy priorities for Countering Biological Threats. Approximately $40.8M supports the priority to "Promote global health security efforts through building and improving international capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats, whether caused by natural, accidental, or deliberate events." Approximately $28.4M supports the priority to "Expand our capability to prevent, attribute, and apprehend those engaged in biological weapons proliferation or terrorism, with a focus on facilitating data sharing and knowledge discovery to improve integrated capabilities." Approximately $56.9M supports the priority to "Leverage science, technology, and innovation through domestic and international partnerships and agreements to improve global capacity to respond to and recover from biological incidents." Efforts under this PE will transition to or will provide risk reduction for Advanced Technology Development (PE: 0603384BP), Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (PE: 0603884BP) and System Development and Demonstration (PE: 0604384BP). In FY13, all NTA efforts (both Medical and Non-Medical) within the PE were re-aligned to Project NT2 - Techbase Non-Traditional Agents Defense. Also in FY13, all Medical efforts formerly included in Project TB2 (Medical Biological Defense), Project TC2 (Medical Chemical Defense) and Project TR2 (Medical Radiological Defense), were re-aligned to Project TM2 (Techbase Med Defense). CB2 Physical Science Applied Research continues, and is the project in which biological threat agent surveillance (biosurveillance) research is pursued.
