TECHBASE NON-TRADITIONAL AGENTS DEFENSE (ATD)

Abstract

Project NT3 develops future capabilities against emerging and novel threats and verifies current capabilities against Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs). This project focuses on demonstrating fast and agile scientific responses to enhance or develop capabilities that address emerging threats. Efforts in this project support an integrated approach to develop new or enhanced countermeasures against novel and emerging threats through innovative science and technology (S&T) 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 NTAs. This project is a comprehensive and focused effort for developing NTA defense capabilities, coordinated with specific interagency partners for doctrine, equipment, and training for the Warfighter and civilian population for defense against NTAs. This project funds advanced technology development of NTA defense science and technology initiatives and transitions them to Budget Activities 4 and 5.
