WMD Counterforce Technologies

Abstract

The Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Counterforce Technologies project develops, integrates, demonstrates and transitions emerging technologies enabling efforts to find, characterize, assess, and plan for the defeat of WMD threats. There are two core research efforts in this project. The WMD battlespace awareness effort provides warfighters with capabilities to find, characterize, and assess WMD threats. This effort develops and integrates sensing technologies with multi-mission Unmanned Aerial System payloads. The Countering WMD (CWMD) weapons effects effort develops modernized, fast-running, validated CWMD planning tools and integrates modeling and simulation software to optimize the execution of WMD and associated hard target defeat operations. The decrease from FY 2015 to FY 2016 is due to the realignment of funding for Technical Reachback from Project RM to Project RA-Information Sciences and Applications. The increase from FY 2016 to FY 2017 is due to increased investment in WMD reconnaissance technology and weapons effects and planning tools.
