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 Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) technical reachback cell. These activities are critical enablers for the development of advanced CWMD planning tools and include Advanced Energetics and Advanced Life Sciences. 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/fragmentation warhead technology. Advanced Life Sciences research develops technologies to find, locate, mitigate, and defeat WMD using bio-organisms or components.
