Combating Terrorism Technology Support

Abstract

The Combating Terrorism Technical Support (CTTS) program develops and delivers capabilities that address needs and requirements with direct operational application in the national effort to combat terrorism. Projects are distributed among 10 mission categories: Advanced Analytics and Capabilities, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Countermeasures; Explosives Detection; Improvised Device Defeat; Investigative Support and Forensics; Personnel Protection, Physical Security; Surveillance, Collection, and Operations Support; Tactical Operations Support; and Training Technology Development. This program is a diverse, advanced technology development effort that capitalizes on interagency and international participation to demonstrate the utility or effectiveness of technology when applied to combating terrorism requirements. It includes technology capability development, proof-of-principle demonstrations in field applications, and coordination to transition from development to operational use. .

• Change Summary Explanation: In the last week of FY 2010 CTTSO received a Department JUON (Joint Urgent Operational Needs) reprogramming (+$10M) to rapidly develop of ADVANCED ANALYTICS AND CONCEPTS program required for forces in Afghanistan. The FY 2012 baseline budget was reduced by -$10M due to higher priorities within the Department. CTTSO will continue to assess and prioritize combating terrorism and counterinsurgeny priorities and reallocate funds due to this unexpected reduction. The $10M reduction will decrease the S&T efforts to rapidly prototype across all nine sub group programs but primarily in the Physical Security S&T efforts (-15%); Surveillance, Collection, and Operations support program (-15%); and the Tactical Operations Subgroup (-9.7%)
