CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (APPLIED RESEARCH)
Abstract
This project (CB2) provides physical applied research to develop future, multi-disciplinary, multi-functional capabilities in life sciences, physical sciences, environmental sciences, mathematics, cognitive sciences, and engineering. Efforts in this project support the seamless integration of state-of-the-art-technologies into a collection of systems across the spectrum of capabilities required to support chemical and biological defense missions, including specific research to develop defensive capabilities against non-traditional agents (NTAs). Starting in FY11, all NTA-dedicated research will be re-aligned into specific capability areas within this project in order to ensure a focused effort on this high priority area. Capability areas in this project include: detection; detection for NTAs; information systems technology; protection/hazard mitigation; protection/hazard mitigation for NTAs; threat agent science; and threat agent science for NTAs. Detection focuses on developing technologies for standoff and point detection and identification of chemical and biological agents. Information systems technology focuses on advanced warning and reporting, hazard prediction and assessment, simulation analysis and planning, and systems performance modeling. Protection and hazard mitigation focuses on providing technologies that protect and reduce the chemical/biological threat or hazard to the Warfighter, weapons platforms, and structures. Threat agent science is devoted to characterizing threat agents and the hazards they present in terms of agent fate in the environment, toxicology, pathogenicity and the development of simulants, especially with regard to NTAs. This project focuses on horizontal integration of CB defensive technologies in support of the Joint Services.
