CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (APPLIED RESEARCH)

Abstract

The projects in this program element (PE) support applied research in the areas of physical technologies, Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) medical and physical defense technologies, and medical technologies. Major efforts support development of vaccines, therapeutics, next generation diagnostics systems, next generation chemical detectors, nerve agent pretreatments, and individual protection advances. Individual projects include: - Chemical Biological Defense (CB2): continual improvements in CB physical sciences defense materiel, including contamination avoidance, decontamination, detection and protection technologies, as well as biological weapon/agent surveillance (e.g. CB protective materials, textiles, and filtration, sensors and sensing algorithms, effects modeling, chemical formulations, processes, and methods for hazard mitigation). - NTA Defense (NT2): supports all NTA efforts (both medical and non-medical) including pretreatments, therapeutics, detection, threat agent science, modeling, protection and hazard mitigation and characterization of emerging threats. Starting in FY21, a portion of the NTA lines have been merged into RDT&E Projects CB3, Chemical Biological Defense, and TM3, Techbase Medical Defense. The administrative change is intended to improve S&T budget agility and transition efficiency. - Techbase Medical Defense (TM2): development of antidotes, drug treatments, disease surveillance and point-of-need diagnostic devices, patient decontamination and medical technologies management (e.g. drug discovery and platform technology development, biomarkers and assay development useful in drug development and diagnostics, human mimicking devices and regulatory science). CBDP S&T Applied Research Stakeholders: U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC), United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD), United States Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, Naval Research Lab (NRL), Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), among others. The intent is to maintain strategic partnerships with the Department of Defense (DoD) Service communities for mission success across the enterprise through collaborative planning and programming maintaining budget assurance. 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) activities.
