CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (ATD)

Abstract

This program element (PE) demonstrates technologies that enhance the ability of U.S. forces to deter, defend against, and survive Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) warfare. This program element (PE) funds advanced technology development for Joint Service and Service-specific requirements in both medical and physical sciences CBR defense areas. The medical program aims to produce drugs, vaccines and medical devices as countermeasures for CBR threat agents. Specific areas of medical investigation include: prophylaxis, pretreatment, antidotes and therapeutics, personnel and patient decontamination, and medical management of casualties. In the physical sciences area, the focus is on demonstrations of CB defense technologies, including biological detection, chemical detection, protection, and decontamination. This PE also provides for the conduct of advanced technology development in the areas of real-time sensing, accelerated biological warfare operational awareness, and the restoration of operations following a biological warfare or chemical warfare attack. This program is dedicated to conducting proof-of-principle field demonstrations, test of system-specific technologies to meet specific military needs. Work conducted under this PE transitions to and provides risk reduction for System Integration/Demonstration (PE 0603884BP/PE 0604384BP) activities. In FY13, all NTA-dedicated research (both medical and non-medical) is re-aligned to Project NT3 - Techbase Non-Traditional Agents Defense (ATD). Also all non-NTA Medical Biological and Medical Chemical Defense efforts (Projects TB3 and TC3) are re-aligned to Project TM3 - Techbase Medical Defense (ATD).
