CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (OP SYS DEV)

Abstract

This program element supports developmental efforts to upgrade systems in the Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical Biological Defense Program that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. Efforts in this program element support the upgrade of fielded CB defense equipment against emerging chemical threat agents and toxic industrial chemicals. Specifically this program includes: (1) the upgrade and modernization of information systems; (2) the Software Support Activity (SSA); (3) the upgrade and modernization of medical systems; and (4) revitalization and technical upgrade of existing instrumentation and equipment at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG). Key efforts within this PE are in support of the FY14 policy priorities for Countering Biological Threats. Approximately $.5M supports the priority to "Promote global health security efforts through building and improving international capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats, whether caused by natural, accidental, or deliberate events." Approximately $5.8M supports the priority to "Expand our capability to prevent, attribute, and apprehend those engaged in biological weapons proliferation or terrorism, with a focus on facilitating data sharing and knowledge discovery to improve integrated capabilities." Approximately $.5M supports the priority to "Leverage science, technology, and innovation through domestic and international partnerships and agreements to improve global capacity to respond to and recover from biological incidents."
