Information Sciences and Applications
Abstract
The Information Sciences and Applications project provides technical reachback support to create decision advantage for the United States and our allies through improved situational understanding across the complete Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) mission space. The Technical Reachback effort provides 24 hour/7 days per week information and analyses on potential impacts of a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) event to warfighters and first responders in consult with the DTRA’s CWMD research and development subject matter experts. This effort develops and integrates capabilities and processes to support assessment and estimation of WMD effects and consequences, to include secondary and tertiary effects. This project has also provided support (through FY 2014) to international CWMD science and technology cooperation by developing modifications, improvements, or new technologies and information tools suitable for foreign release and cooperative efforts. The decrease from FY 2014 to FY 2015 was due to the completion of efforts in building partner capacity development activities. The increase from FY 2015 to FY 2016 is due to the realignment of funding for Technical Reachback from Project RM-WMD Counterforce Technologies to Project RA to better reflect the nature of those activities.
