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 three core research efforts in this project: (1) 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. (2) 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. (3) The Innovative Technologies and Engineering effort takes promising technologies discovered under fundamental and basic research and further develops them to increase the effectiveness of weapons against blast doors and other underground structures for functional defeat of Underground Facilities (UGFs), WMD, and their delivery systems.
