WMD Battle Management
Abstract
The WMD Battle Management project develops, integrates, demonstrates and transitions emerging/innovative technologies to support the counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Mission. This activity specifically focuses on two critical components in countering the WMD threat: Develop end-to-end planning capabilities including weaponeering tools to aid the Combatant Commander's targeting and weapons officers in choosing the proper weapon, fuze, and employment parameters to optimize the defeat of WMD and related hard targets. Deliver modernized, validated and fast running attack planning tools and integrating software. Leverage attack planning tools to support force protection planners and vulnerability assessment teams. Develop, integrate, demonstrate and transition emerging/innovative technologies to provide the warfighter with an enhanced near real-time combat and battle damage assessment capability. Capability is achieved through the development of Unmanned Aerial Systems and weapon-based sensors, platforms, taggants, seekers and other innovative technologies to; remotely sense, identify, track and target WMD-related threats; perform battle damage assessment/indication of strikes against these threats; and locate, track, collect, detect, selectively identify, and characterize Chemical Weapon and Biological Weapon aerosol agents released during these WMD counterforce strikes. The decrease from FY 2011 to FY 2012 is predominately due to program reductions made to comply with Department guidance to identify funds to support higher priority mission areas and program changes for increased investment in detection technologies.
