Chemical Biological Defense (Applied Research)
Abstract
Project CB2 provides physical science applied research to develop future, multi-disciplinary, and 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. In FY2023, the CBDP RDT&E Projects have been restructured to align to the CBDP portfolio. CB2 thrust areas in FY2022 progress to the Mitigate (MT2), Protect (PT2), and Understand (UN2) portfolios. This restructuring is intended to provide standardization and alignment across CBDP research, development and acquisition efforts. Individual efforts in this Project include: -Protection and hazard mitigation focuses on providing technologies that protect from and reduce the impact of chemical/biological threat or hazard to the Warfighter, weapons platforms, and structures. -Detection focuses on developing technologies for remote and point detection and identification of chemical and biological agents. -Decision analysis and management focuses on advanced hazard prediction, medical and epidemiological modeling of biological agents, operational effects and risk assessment, and systems performance modeling. -Warning and reporting focuses on methods of alerting to chemical or biological threat agent releases and exposures. -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, and focuses on the horizontal integration of threat agent information across CB defensive technologies in support of the Joint Services.
