6) First Look (Chemical and Biological)
Abstract
First Look provides the initial evaluation of known and emerging threat agents to determine their potential hazard to the Warfighter. For both chemical and biological agents, this initial fundamental risk assessment includes evaluation of synthesis and toxicity screening for chemicals and toxins and growth and/or virulence for biological agents as well as production and feasibility of weaponization for all agents. Investments in this area are used to evaluate threat agents as well as develop methods and capabilities to quickly and accurately characterize chemical, biological, and toxin threat agent properties. First Look products/data inform warfighter mission planning, requirements generation, capability development, model development, the larger CBDP Enterprise, Intelligence and other government stakeholders about known or emerging agent threats.
