Target Assessment Technologies

Abstract

The Target Assessment Technologies project develops, integrates, tests, demonstrates, and transitions processes and technologies providing advanced capabilities in the areas of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) target assessment and functional defeat. The functional defeat process includes finding and identifying a facility, characterizing its function and physical layout, determining current or future vulnerabilities to available defeat mechanisms, planning and executing an attack, assessing damage, and denying reconstitution efforts. Applying these processes to time-dependent constraints related to WMD target characterization and threat analysis presents a further technical challenge. This project develops analytical tools and processes required to (1) find and characterize WMD targets and associated hard and deeply buried targets (HDBTs) and (2) to assess in real time the results of physical and functional defeat operations (such as a direct attack). These novel, dynamic capabilities enable Combatant Commands (CCMDs) and the intelligence community (IC) to hold at risk high value targets possessed by adversaries.
