CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (RDT&E MGT SUPPORT)
Abstract
This program element (PE) resources research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) management support as a key enabler across the Enabling Investments, Mitigate, Protect, and Understand portfolios. Chemical Biological Defense Program (CBDP) investments provide an integrated, layered capability to enable combating weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) missions ranging from combat operations to Department of Defense (DoD) support to domestic incident prevention and response. The Projects in this PE support sustainment and modernization of laboratory infrastructure, test capabilities, studies and analyses, Joint doctrine and training, and program and financial management support. FY23 funding accelerates characterization and situational awareness of emerging biothreats and accelerates delivery of improved protection from and mitigation of biothreats, including rapid repurposing of available therapeutics and development of new vaccines. Individual Projects include: - Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) (DW6): Operating support to West Desert Test Center (WDTC) and BioTesting Division (Chemical Biological Center) for the required institutional test operating costs (e.g. institutional civilian and contractor labor; repair and maintenance of test instrumentation, equipment, and facilities; and replacement of test equipment). - Laboratory Support (LS6): Operating support for sustainment and modernization efforts for surety laboratory infrastructure in order to maintain and enhance DoD infrastructure capabilities to counter an expanding threat space, exploit advances in technology; and develop and transition CB defense equipment and countermeasures to the Warfighter. - Management Support (MS6): Management support for the DoD CBDP to allow program overview and integration of overall medical and non-medical programs by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs (ASD(NCB)), through the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Chemical Biological Defense (DASD(CBD)). - Joint Doctrine and Training Support (DT6) and Joint Concept Development (O49) are no longer active FY23 Projects due to budget restructure.
