4) Employment Characterization
Abstract
Employment Characterization studies refine threat assessments and identify potential impacts of indoor and/or outdoor releases of threat agents on CBDP operations, strategy, and capabilities. These studies directly define the Warfighter threat space by determining how CB agents behave when released. This effort reduces risk to the CBDP Enterprise by closing knowledge gaps and informing on the type, extent and magnitude of a potential hazard a warfighter may face in an operational environment. Employment Characterization will: review state of knowledge on agent employment (laboratory and outdoors) to identify gaps and TAS assessment opportunities; continue coordination with international partners to leverage skills and resources; develop closer linkages to hazard prediction modelers to identify knowledge gaps and TAS opportunities; prepare evaluation of potential munitions for applicability to potential future threats based on performance characteristics; and continue chamber tests and operational trials as appropriate for compounds of interest.
