Advanced Energetics & Counter WMD Weapons

Abstract

The Advanced Energetics & Counter WMD Weapons project provides advanced technology development and demonstration for defeating Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) targets (including facilities with biological and chemical agents) while minimizing collateral damage and release of those agents when using air, land and sea assets brought to the theater by the warfighters. These objectives will be accomplished by a combination of developing and/or maturing technologies, weapon systems, weapon concepts and methods. Supported products are: (1) advanced counter-WMD weapons, fuzing technology, and robotics; (2) counter force agent defeat weapons and methods; and (3) disruptive payloads and delivery systems. The decrease from FY 2011 to FY 2012 is predominately for increased investment for nuclear weapons effects in project RF-Detection Technology and also for program reductions made to comply with Department guidance to identify funds to support higher priority mission areas.
