Nuclear Weapons & CP Technologies

Abstract

(U) Perform engineering analyses across the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high explosive (CBRNE) pillars for countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD) with emphasis on asymmetric threats (specifically CBRNE) and other difficult to attack targets. Develop proposed solutions for consideration for entry into acquisition. Plan for and transition selected nuclear and non-nuclear concepts into either an acquisition or advanced concept technology demonstration (ACTD) program to include identifying funding, technical, schedule, and programmatic content. Prepare the necessary acquisition-related documentation to support program and/or decision reviews. (U) Develop, evaluate, and utilize tools required for the employment of current inventory and new concepts for combating WMD weapons to include intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; battle damage assessment; and target defeat/collateral effects predictions for current and future operations. (U) Budget Activity Justification: These efforts are Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration, because they are system specific programs that result in identifying, and developing or modifying weapons to meet new and evolving elimination and offensive capabilities for combating WMD. Efforts also include developing and/or validating target planning software for existing/new concepts and weapons for combating WMD.
