Minimizing the impacts and effects of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) events through detection, recognition, and technological initiatives.
What are current and projected applications of synthetic biology for U.S. Army protection, detection, and decontamination against chemical, biological, and radiological threats?
What information exists on explosive dissemination of biological agents?
What capabilities exist for field-level decontamination in a radiological environment?
It’s been 20 years in the making, but the Army is about to get its first lightweight, low-cost, man-portable defense surveillance system for detecting, collecting, and identifying biological warfare agent aerosols. First conceived in 2003,…
VICKSBURG, Miss. – Inventors from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, developed a groundbreaking innovation in window systems that are resistant to blasts, ballistics, and forced entry threats. Filed…
The modern battlespace is dynamic. As conflicts in Ukraine and Israel unfold and perpetual threats from our adversaries loom, we continue to see implications for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense and detection. As…
Given the current global shift toward symmetrical warfare, major powers – and non-state proxies – are developing radical leveling and emerging technology for use as “deterrence leveraging” in both non-kinetic and kinetic engagements. Although regnant…
This work will demonstrate how ubiquitous radiological characterization can take place throughout all nuclear facilities for all nuclear material (even those facilities the United States does not know exist). The presentation will detail how this…
In the case of radiological/nuclear (R/N) mass casualty incidents, several thousands of humans may be exposed to ionizing radiation. Timely assessment of radiation dose is critical for making an appropriate “lifesaving” clinical decision for those…
The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) will host the 2024 Law Enforcement Theme Week training during the week of November 17 – 23, 2024 (17th and 23rd are travel days) on the CDP campus in…
Join the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA’s) Chemical and Biological Technologies Department in its role as the Joint Science and Technology (S&T) Office (JSTO) for Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD), an integral component of the…
The 17th annual CBRNe Convergence returns to Orlando, Florida for 2024. This year’s events will be taking place from October 28 through 30, with multiple tracks of interest to choose from. “Pre-conference workshops” are occurring…
