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.
