*Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Advanced Technology Development
Abstract
The Advanced Technology Development portfolio is aligned with strategic planning objectives as well as with Science and Technology (S&T) investment direction which is established annually by DTRA. The objectives directly support policy and planning guidance from the Office of the President, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the broader WMD threat reduction community. The portfolio advances the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) mission by selecting advanced technology development initiatives that meet the following criteria: (1) Efforts are clearly defined and directly linked to mission-specific capability requirements of DTRA, the Military Departments, Combatant Commanders, other DoD and federal agencies, and international partners; (2) preliminary assessments of subsystems and components offer the highest potential for technological feasibility, operability and producibility upon transition out of S&T research; (3) activities demonstrate cost effectiveness or cost reduction potential of technologies during field testing or simulation at scale.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The increase in FY 2020 from the previous President's Budget submission is due to increased investment for the improvement of technical reachback capacity to grow operational support as current demand outpaces capacity, quick reaction capabilities to rapidly transition both material and non-material solutions to the field, increased investment in the development of classified and unclassified United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) efforts to counter threat networks by assessing, identifying, and providing capabilities to maintain technological superiority, the development of technological applications to operate in a nuclear contaminated environment, and development of battlefield tools necessary to support time-sensitive decision-making during nuclear warfare. There is 20% real growth in this program element from the previous President's Budget submission.
