Counter Improvised-Threat Simulation

Abstract

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) advanced technology development program element funds the assessment, analysis, experimentation, evaluation, and testing of systems to counter asymmetric threats to determine feasibility for prototyping, spiral development, Program of Record investment and potential for immediate fielding. Understanding asymmetric threats is the driving force behind DTRA's deliberate, structured, and proactive approach to understanding, anticipating, illuminating, isolating, and/or mitigating threats through identified needs. DTRA is working to bring concepts and theories forward to assist and hasten the development of subsystems and components along with integration into prototypes for field experiments and/or laboratory tests.

Change Summary Explanation
The decrease in FY 2021 from the previous President's Budget submission is due to: (1) a realignment of funds to PE 0603160BR (Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Advanced Technology Development) to increase investment in WMD counterterrorism activities, and (2) Defense-Wide Review (DWR) adjustment of -$31.970 million resulting from reductions to DTRA's lowest priority RDT&E programs and the the transfer of C-IED programs to the Army to better align RDT&E efforts with the C-IED mission holder. The Army assumes executive agent responsibilities for C-IED effective 1 October 2020.
