Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The mission of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in the conduct of the Defense Wide/Applied Research RDT&E program is to reduce the threat to the United States and its allies from nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC), conventional and special weapons through counterproliferation (CP) programs; U.S. nuclear deterrent sustainment; and to provide technical support on weapons of mass destruction (WMD) matters to the DoD Components. These programs directly reflect the National Military Strategy, support the provisions of Joint Vision 2010 and are directed by the JCS in the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (Nuclear Annex). Responsive to the oversight of the Counterproliferation Council and the Nuclear Weapons Council, the specific program entities are grouped into projects. During its first year of operation, DTRA has faced many challenges in the process of focusing agency organization and resources to the threat reduction mission. This has required a transition from predecessor agencies' legacy programs and support baseline resources to integrated DTRA programs and resources. Particular attention has been devoted to realigning the research and development investment programs. The project structure in this PE for FY 2001 and out represents that realignment. The DTRA Applied Research program is divided into the key areas of Nuclear Sustainment and Counterproliferation Technologies. The major budget items in development for these two areas follow: Counterproliferation (CP): The DTRA is the DoD focal point for programs and activities to reduce the threats posed by WMD proliferants. Former programs have been redirected and focused into six broad CP programs and three areas of enabling technologies to accomplish the counterproliferation mission. New, forward-thinking activities have been identified and prioritized to support the DTRA mission and the DoD CP strategy for responding to the full spectrum of crises and preparing now for an uncertain future. The CP programs support national guidance, the DTRA strategic vision, and Service and CINC operational customers. This program element provides the innovative technologies and concepts underpinning all CP programs.

Provides input to assessment training programs, engineering designs and new construction practices to support sound force protection, vulnerability mitigation, and collective protection principles. • Development of WMD analysis and simulation tools for the warfighter including target planning and assessment; hazardous materials transport and collateral effects prediction; consequence assessment; and anti-terrorism/force protection. • Development and application of state-of-the-art nuclear weapons effects models to support nuclear weapon stewardship and system hardness design. • Development, maintenance, and use of unique DoD test and simulation facilities (to include infrastructure) and enabling technologies that are used to evaluate the impact of hostile environments from conventional, nuclear, and other special weapons on military or civilian systems or targets. • Examination of existing U.S./Allied capabilities to hold hardened, deeply buried targets at risk; evaluation of capabilities against known or projected potential targets; and evaluation of new technologies for possible application against known shortfalls. • Targeting and Intelligence Community (IC) support to warfighters that provides functional vulnerability assessments of hostile foreign systems. Nuclear Sustainment: The nuclear sustainment program, driven by the specific taskings of the National Strategy, National Military Strategy and the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan, has two projects, i.e., Nuclear Operations and System Survivability. • Nuclear Operations develops and supports the National Nuclear Mission Management Plan, Nuclear and WMD Emergency Response Capability, nuclear and WMD training expertise for R-1 Shopping List – Item No 20-3 of 20-72 Exhibit R-2, RDT&E Budget Item Justification (Exhibit R-2, Page 3 of 120) DATE February 2000 RDT&E BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION SHEET (R-2 Exhibit) APPROPRIATION/BUDGET ACTIVITY R-1 ITEM NOMENCLATURE RDT&E, Defense-Wide/Applied Research - BA2 Nuclear Sustainment & Counterproliferation Technologies; 0602715BR Mission Description and Budget Item Justification (cont'd) DoD, nuclear weapon systems safety assessments, nuclear planning systems, nuclear deterrent option analyses, technical support for nuclear C4I requirements and WMD threat mitigation analyses. • The System Survivability Project develops simulator technology (nuclear, blast, thermal, radio frequency (RF) propagation, and optical/infrared (IR) background effects), electronics technology (radiation-hardened microelectronics, balanced electromagnetic hardening technology, radio frequency threat reduction), assessment and protection technology, and provides technology to support the Congressionally mandated Nuclear Test Personnel Review. These development areas directly support the development of survivable and reliable systems for the warfighter. Together, the Counterproliferation Technologies and Nuclear Sustainment projects comprise a critical component of the ability of the Department to meet the technology and sustainment challenges posed by the emerging international environment and the National Military Strategy. The coverage of the projects ranges from counter-terrorism through conventional conflict through countering WMD threats to the maintenance of the national strategic nuclear deterrent. Through these projects, DTRA is a major contributor to the requirements posed by the Shape, Respond and Prepare strategy for the defense of the nation. It should be noted that information concerning Project AL is classified per DoD Directive 0-5205.7, Para B.2.f.

This project develops, provides and maintains unique DoD test and simulation facilities and enabling technologies that are used by the Defense Agencies, the Services and other federal agencies to evaluate the impact of hostile environments from conventional, nuclear and other special weapons on military or civilian systems and targets.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.
