CWMD Test and Evaluation
Abstract
The Countering WMD Test and Evaluation project provides a unique national test capability for simulated 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 project leverages 50 years of expertise in investigating weapons effects and target response across the spectrum of hostile environments that could be created by proliferant 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 DoD and supports the counterproliferation pillar of the National Strategy to Counter WMD. Project RR CWMD Test and Evaluation, was added to this Program Element in FY 2022. Project RR is not a new start effort. These funds were realigned within Budget Activity (BA) 3, from PE 0603134BR, Project JC - Enable Rapid Capability Delivery to more effectively align Agency support of COCOM and Military Department testing and evaluation (T&E) efforts, and to facilitate transition of CWMD development capabilities into the next stage of development.
