Emerging Threats (ATD)
Abstract
Project ET3 aims to identify and develop scientific solutions, or to modernize capabilities, that allow for a more rapid response to emerging threats. This project supports the development of defense capabilities, collaborating across the DoD and specific interagency partners for doctrine, equipment, and training for the Warfighter and civilian population for defense against emerging threats. Additionally, this project supports advanced development of defensive science and technology capabilities aimed at proactive characterization of threats and potentially disruptive technologies. Individual efforts in this Project include: - Developing new science and technology capabilities that allow for the rapid characterization of emerging threats to support operational decision making and requirements setting. Support an integrated approach to developing new or enhanced countermeasures against emerging threats through innovative science and technology solutions for detection, protection, decontamination, and medical countermeasures (MCMs). - Efforts supply test methodologies and supporting science to verify capabilities, develop protection and hazard mitigation options, expand hazard assessment tools, and develop MCMs against emerging threats. Chemical and Biological Emerging Threat Innovation Fund challenge DoD Labs and innovation cells to deliver transformational technologies against emerging threats that enables the force to compete, deter, and win in strategic environments described in the National Defense Strategy.
