CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (ATD)

Abstract

This project (CB3) demonstrates technology advancements for joint service application in the areas of detection, information systems technology, protection/hazard mitigation, and technology transition efforts. These activities will speed maturing of advanced technologies to reduce risk in system-oriented integration/demonstration efforts. This project also includes efforts dedicated to developing capabilities to protect against Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs). Detection focuses on advanced development of technologies from applied research for standoff and point detection and identification of chemical and biological agents. Information systems advanced technology focuses on areas of advanced warning and reporting, hazard prediction and assessment, simulation analysis and planning, and systems performance modeling. Protection and Hazard Mitigation focuses on advanced development of technologies that protect and reduce the chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear threat or hazard to the Warfighter, weapons platforms, and structures. This project also funds advanced development of chemical and biological defense science and technology initiatives and transitions them to advanced development programs in Budget Activities 4 and 5, through prototypes that are evaluated in Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATDs) and Joint Warfighter Experimentation (JWE). In FY13, all NTA-dedicated research from this Project is re-aligned to Project NT3 - Techbase Non-Traditional Agents Defense (ATD).
