COUNTER WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The Advanced Technology Development portfolio is aligned with National and DoD strategic objectives and 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.
