Countering WMD Test and Evaluation

Abstract

The Countering WMD Test and Evaluation project provides a unique national test capability for simulated Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) facilities and processes. This capability provides structured and systematic end-to-end test event planning, preparation, management, execution, and data analysis. It also offers test instrumentation (data acquisition systems and optics), scientific analysis and predictions, test article construction, test article/test bed remediation, tunnel mining, architectural and engineering design, systems engineering and integration, and test data management. The facility leverages 50 years of expertise in investigating weapons effects and target response across the spectrum of hostile environments that could be created by proliferent nations or terrorist organizations with access to advanced conventional weapons or WMD. Subject matter experts design full and sub-scale testing strategies focusing on weapon-target interaction with fixed soft and hardened facilities to include above ground facilities, cut-and-cover facilities, and deep underground tunnels. This capability does not exist anywhere else within the Department of Defense (DoD) and supports the counterproliferation pillar of the National Strategy to Counter WMD.
