Fundamental Research for Combating WMD

Abstract

The Fundamental Research for Combating WMD project conducts technology reviews of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Basic Research Program to identify promising emerging science with potential to be matured into Counter WMD technologies. The advancement of technology and science into applied technology development efforts focus upon increasing the stability and utility of mid-to-long term, moderate risk but high payoff science, and emerging technologies for transition to other DTRA applied technology programs. This effort serves as the bridge between the bench scientist and the applied technologist. The decrease from FY 2012 to FY 2013 is predominately due to the significant reduction of University Strategic Partnerships activities, reduced efforts in Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction – Terrorism (CWMD-T), and the transfer of advanced systems concepts funding from project RU – Fundamental Research for Combating WMD to project RA – Information Science and Applications to perform strategic research and dialogues. The decrease from FY 2013 to FY 2014 is predominately due to decreased investment in University Strategic Partnership (USP) activities.
