Minimizing the impacts and effects of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) events through detection, recognition, and technological initiatives.
Can technical specifications (detection limits, detection time, and detectable agents) on fielded biological agent detectors be provided?
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?
In response to the nation’s evolving nuclear deterrence needs, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) upgraded and expanded the 60-year-old Light Initiated High Explosives (LIHE) facility. SNL and NNSA unveiled the improved facility during a ribbon-cutting ceremony…
Imagine a smoke detector that instead of warning residents of smoke before a fire engulfs their home, is placed in mass-transit locations to alert travelers and first responders to hazardous chemicals in the air. Researchers…
Biological agents have become cheaper, faster, and easier for adversaries to engineer and employ due to advancements in science and technology. Though defeating these dynamic threats can be challenging, the Joint Program Executive Office for…
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 13th Annual Joint Civil & U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Symposium will explore efforts and strategies to address and mitigate current and emerging CBRN threats and challenges. The…
The Military Health System (MHS) Conference is a four-day annual conference sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. Conference attendees are comprised of government, military, and industry healthcare professionals….
The Nuclear Deterrence Summit is an event that goes beyond bringing together leaders, experts, and industry executives in the field of nuclear deterrence. It is an opportunity for professionals in the nuclear deterrence and nonproliferation…
