Chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons or devices capable of a high order of destruction and/or causing mass casualties.
Where can information on Raman spectroscopy (training materials, best practices, safety) be found, specifically for portable/handheld Raman spectrometers?
What are the primary concerns of managing a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attack from the standpoint of medical management of casualties?
What are chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear research and development priorities based on service, combatant command, joint, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and/or international future operating concepts, strategies, threats, and related guidance?
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive material. The innovative technique, known as cryogenic…
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…
FORT DETRICK, Md. — Operations in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear-contested environments pose unique challenges for field commanders. How can they protect their Warfighters from biological threats without impeding their ability to fight and win…
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…
In June of 2023, the Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center convened a Tabletop Exercise (TTX) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which posited a mixed-hazardous waste “dirty bomb” blanketing a nearby federal reservation and its…
Defense Strategies Institute’s 4th Annual Hypersonic Innovation Conference will support the United States’ ability to develop and operationalize hypersonic weapons as well as defend against incoming missile threats. The 2025 Conference will highlight hypersonic technology…
The Nuclear Deterrence Summit brings together U.S. and international leaders, experts, and industry executives involved in the field of nuclear deterrence to discuss the management of the nuclear complex, the security of the stockpile, arms…
Join NDIA’s CBRN Division in Baltimore, MD for the 2025 CBRN Defense Conference. The NDIA CBRN Defense Division promotes the exchange of information — technical and operational — related to defenses against weapons of mass…
