CWMD Cross-Cutting Technical and Information Sciences

Abstract

This project manages Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) community studies, strategic dialogues, and tabletop exercises to provide insights into emerging threats and future challenges to DTRA, DoD, and the warfighter. It delivers operationally relevant, credible, timely, and actionable recommendations to inform future operations, activities, and investments in support of countering weapons of mass destruction. In FY 2021, this project sponsored strategic research into weapons of mass destruction (WMD) trends and emerging science and technology that are anticipated to shape the future battlespace and require changes to DTRA's prioritization and/or focus. This project supported international dialogues with allies and partners, strategic studies not otherwise covered in the extant literature, and the development/delivery of experiential learning table top exercises to DTRA and the CWMD community. These sponsored activities produced custom recommendations DTRA, DoD, and the USG can use to mitigate the adverse effects of WMD challenges. Additionally, funding in this project provides for support to optimize organizational policy development, decision making, research and development project management, engineering and technical analysis, and other professional support services to improve the effectiveness of program processes, procedures, and outcomes.
