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 established annually by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The objectives directly support policy and planning guidance from the Executive Office of the President, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the broader Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) threat reduction community. The portfolio advances the Countering WMD (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 2022 from the previous President's Budget is due to 1) the realignment of resources from Project JC - Enable Rapid Capability Delivery in PEs 0603134BR and 0604134BR to Project RA - CWMD Cross-Cutting Technical and Information Sciences for Technology-Driven CWMD Capability Development and Evaluation activities to develop cross-cutting innovative and agile new technologies that more effectively counter the full spectrum of WMD by anticipating new threats while responding to current and evolving threats, 2) the realignment of resources from Project JC - Enable Rapid Capability Delivery in PE 0603134BR to Project RR - CWMD Test and Evaluation to more effectively align Agency support of COCOM and Military Department testing and evaluation (T&E) efforts to facilitate transition of CWMD development capabilities into the next stage of development, 3) the realignment of resources from Project JC - Enable Rapid Capability Delivery in PE 0603134BR to Project RG - Counter WMD Technologies and Capabilities Development, 4) the realignment of resources to O&M for specialized counter-terrorism activities to operationalize forecasting methodologies, and 5) a downward adjustment for revised economic assumptions (inflation). In FY 2021, there was a congressional add for Strategic Systems Defeat in this project.
