CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (APPLIED RESEARCH)

Abstract

Project CB2 provides physical science 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. Capability areas in this project include: detection; Information systems technology; protection/hazard mitigation; and threat agent science. Detection focuses on developing technologies for standoff and point detection and identification of chemical and biological agents. Information systems technology focuses on advanced hazard prediction, operational effects and risk assessment, 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, and pathogenicity. This project focuses on horizontal integration of CB defensive technologies in support of the Joint Services.
