The mission of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is to safeguard the United States and its allies from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosives) by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate and counter the threat and mitigate its effects. This mission includes research and development activities organized into chemical/biological, nuclear, WMD counter-force, and systems engineering technology portfolios. From these activities, DTRA administers two SBIR Programs. One is affiliated with the Chemical-Biological Defense Program and appears as a separate component under this solicitation. The other is drawn from the nuclear, WMD counter-force, and systems engineering portfolios and is described herein. Communications for this program should be directed to:
