This national strategy is based on three principal pillars: (1) Counterproliferation to Combat WMD Use, (2) Strengthened Nonproliferation to Combat WMD Proliferation, and (3) Consequence Management to Respond to WMD Use. The DoD CB Defense Program (CBDP) provides research, development, and acquisition (RDA) programs primarily to support the first and third pillars. In support of counterproliferation, the DoD CBDP provides passive defenses tailored to the unique characteristics of the various chemical and biological weapons, including emerging threats. These capabilities provide U.S. forces the ability to rapidly and effectively mitigate the effects of a CB attack against our deployed forces. In support of counterproliferation, the DoD CBDP provides capabilities to respond to the effects of WMD use against our forces deployed abroad, and the homeland. In addition, the DoD CBDP supports the "1-4-2-1" force planning construct articulated in the Department of Defense Annual Report to the President and the Congress, September 2002. The CBDP funds research to exploit leading edge technologies to ensure that U.S. forces are equipped with world class capabilities to defend against CB threats through the far term. This budget includes support of a comprehensive science and technology base program to ensure continued advances in CB defense capabilities. CBDP Basic Research provides core capabilities to ensure U.S. technological advantages through the far term, including research into advanced chemical and biological detection systems, advanced materials for improved filtration systems and protection systems, advanced decontaminants, investigations into the environmental fate of chemical warfare agents, advanced information technologies, medical biological defense research (including novel biodefense initiatives that focus on interrupting the disease cycle before and after exposure, as well as addressing the bioengineered threat), diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines for viral, bacterial, toxin, and novel threat agents), and medical chemical defense (including investigations of low level chemical warfare agent exposures, diagnostics, therapeutics, pretreatments for classical chemical warfare threats and novel threat agents). iii The CBDP also supports numerous Defense Technology Objectives (DTOs), which represent the key science and technology base programs for demonstrating advanced capabilities in the near and mid-term. During FY06, DTOs support operational capabilities to Sense (Reconnaissance, Detection and Identification), Shape (Battle Management), Shield (Individual & Collective Protection), and Sustain (Decontamination & Restoration) U.S. forces for passive defense, force protection, and consequence management missions. Among others, DTOs include capabilities for Standoff Biological Aerosol Detection, Wide Area Aerial Reconnaissance for Chemical Agents, Environmental Fate of Agents, Low-Level Chemical Warfare Agent Exposure: Effects and Countermeasures, Detection of CB Contamination on Surfaces, Advanced Air Purification System Model, Chemical and Biological Hazard Environment Prediction and Hazard Prediction with Nowcasting, advanced medical CB prophylaxes, Rapid Detection, Threat Assessment and Attribution of Genetically Engineered Biothreat Organisms Using Microarray-Based Resequencing Technologies, smallpox therapeutics, Multiagent Vaccines for Bio-Warfare Agents, and advanced decontamination capabilities. Technologies currently in advanced development (Budget Activities 4 and 5) provide leading edge tools that will enhance CB defense capabilities for U.S. forces in all CB defense missions in the near-term. As described in the National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction, the response to chemical and biological threats requires tailored approaches that recognize the fundamental differences between chemical and biological weapons (and even the different types of these threats). This budget details the comprehensive array of systems under development essential to support principles of contamination avoidance, protection, and decontamination. iv Key systems in advanced development in FY06 include: the Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD) for standoff chemical agent detection, Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) for portable point chemical agent detection, Joint Effects Model (JEM) and Joint Operational Effects Federation (JOEF) to provide risk management tools to the warfighter, Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (Contamination Avoidance at Sea Ports of Debarkation (CASPOD) and Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Unmanned Ground Reconnaissance (CUGR)), Joint Service Transportable Decontamination System - Small Scale (JSTDS-SM), Joint Service Sensitive Equipment Decontamination (JSSED), Joint Service Personnel/Skin Decontamination System (JSPDS), Advanced Anticonvulsant System, Plasma and Recombinant Bioscavenger, Improved Nerve Agent Treatment System (INATS), biological defense vaccines (including recombinant botulinum toxin vaccine, equine encephalitis vaccines, plague vaccine and ricin vaccine) as part of the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program (JVAP), Critical Reagents Program (CRP) to support development of reagents for biological detection and diagnostic systems, Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS), Joint Service Chemical/Biological Agent Water Monitor (JCBAWM), Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Detection Improvement Program, Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS) Increment II, Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) Increment II, Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN), Joint Collective Protection Equipment (JCPE), Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection, and Joint Service Aircrew Mask (JSAM). In FY06, the CBDP will start or continue procurement on a variety of CB defense systems intended to provide U.S. forces with the best available equipment to survive, fight, and win in CB contaminated environments. Systems beginning procurement in FY06 include JSAM, Multi-Service Radiacs (MSR), and Joint Service Transportable Decontamination System - Small Scale (JSTDS-SM). Systems continuing procurement in FY06 include the Joint Effects Model (JEM), Joint Protective Aircrew Ensemble (JPACE), Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM), JWARN, JBAIDS, Joint Service Mask Leakage Tester (JSMLT), Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST), the NBC Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV), Joint Service Light NBC Reconnaissance System (JSLNBCRS), JCAD, JSLSCAD, JBPDS, biological defense vaccines (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed), CB Protective Shelters (CBPS), and chemical and biological defense equipment for installation force protection. v The FY06 program continues to support the consequence management (CM) mission. CM projects fund the development of the Unified Command Suite (UCS) and Analytical Laboratory System (ALS) Block upgrades. CM funding provides for the modernization to address objective operational capabilities for the National Guard WMD Civil Support Teams (CSTs), the Reserve Component (RC) Reconnaissance, and RC Decontamination Teams. It provides full funding for: (1) type-classified protection, detection, and training equipment; (2) development and fielding of upgraded analytical platforms for the detection, identification, and characterization of chemical, biological, and radiological agents used by terrorists in a civilian environment; (3) development and fielding of communication capabilities that are interoperable with other federal, state, and local agencies; (4) testing and evaluation to ensure that the systems fielded are safe and effective; and (5) program management funds. Overall, the FY 2006 President's Budget achieves a structured, executable, and integrated medical and non-medical joint CB Defense Program that balances urgent short-term procurement needs that include securing the homeland from terrorist attack, and long-term S&T efforts to mitigate future CB attacks. The two primary areas of increased emphasis in this year's budget are the CB Defense Program's test and evaluation infrastructure and novel biodefense initiatives. The budget improves our biological and chemical research labs infrastructure/ability to address known and emerging threats. It also adds funding for novel biodefense initiatives
