Combating Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction

FY 2002: Demonstrate a capability to deny and disrupt WMD production and storagefacilities located in tunnels for at least 7 days with current and advanced conventionalweapons. Encompass data into MEA Tunnel Module Version 3.0FY 2003: Construct test-bed #3, a simulated C2 facility.Funding ($ in millions):PE Project FY99 FY00 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04602715BR AB 6.9 6.4 6.1 5.0 4.0 N/A602715BR AC 4.3 4.4 4.6 4.7 4.8 N/A602715BR AI 9.3 10.0 10.0 10.1 10.6 N/ATotal 20.5 20.8 20.7 19.8 19.4 N/ANational Goal: WMD Consequence ManagementThis class of responses includes all efforts designed to reduce the harmful effects of asuccessfully fired WMD weapon. These efforts include facility protection, personnelprotection, mitigation of effects, emergency response procedures, and so on.Consequence management may also support the goals of WMD prevention anddeterrence by substantially reducing the potential “reward” from a WMD attack, whilemaintaining the associated risks.Required Operational Capabilities (Sample):• Substantially reduced vulnerability of facilities and personnel (civilian and military)• Hazardous material handling and decontamination processes• Rapid alert and effective response procedures to WMD attack• Properly trained and equipped personnel• Casualty treatment tools and techniquesEnabling Technologies (Sample):• Facility hardening against WMD attack (especially chem/bio)• Personnel protection technology (masks, clothing)• Chem/bio detection and identification technology• Risk assessment technology and modeling• Medical treatment technology164
