Nuclear & Radiological Effects

Abstract

Advanced Modeling Systems includes three functional areas 1) Integrated Weapons of Mass Destruction Toolset (IWMDT), 2) Nuclear Capability Services (NuCS), and 3) Consequence of Execution (CoE)-Nuclear Integration. NuCS develops the capabilities for the U.S. and its allies for state-of-the-art, secure, accredited, nuclear & radiological Modeling & Simulation (M&S) capabilities. The IWMDT develops the architecture, defines and implements the standards to consolidate validated Defense Threat Reduction Agency tools, and through this architecture, enables rapid access for planning, emergency response and assessment capabilities. These capabilities are used by a wide range of planners, managers, and operational and technical personnel facing the full spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives threats. CoE-Nuclear Integration provides the modeling capability to U.S. Strategic Command as well as enhancing the consequence assessment integration and testing for transition of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive Events Science & Technology to the Joint Effects Model, Chemical-Biological Defense Program for hazard prediction. This sub-project extends research and development to system development and demonstration. Funds are realigned from this project due to rebalancing of efforts to project RF – Detection Technology. The impacts are in the areas of advanced modeling systems and delay of full 3-D modeling and simulation efforts for electromagnetic pulse response and consequence management predictions, to include second and third order affects.
