WMD Counterforce Technologies

Abstract

The WMD Counterforce Technologies Project develops Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) weapon effects modeling algorithms, full and sub-scale test series required to investigate CWMD weapon effects and sensor performance, and visualization and situational awareness tools to support the next generation DTRA Technical Reachback cell. These activities are critical enablers for the development of advanced CWMD planning tools. Advanced Energetics develops energetic materials and weapon design technology providing advanced defeat capabilities for engaging hard and deeply buried targets that are well beyond current high explosive blast/frag warhead technology. The increase from FY 2015 to FY 2016 reflects increased investments in advanced energetics and weapons effects modeling. The decrease from FY 2016 to FY 2017 is due to decreased investment in advanced materials and energetics to balance other priorities.
