Mission Description and Budget Item Justification:
In August 1994, DoD established the Counterproliferation Support Program specifically to address the DoD shortfalls in counterproliferation operational capabilities
documented in the May 1994 Report to Congress titled Report on Nonproliferation and Counterproliferation Activities and Programs. Counterproliferation Support
Program funds are used to leverage DoD acquisition programs to meet the counterproliferation priorities of the Commanders-in-Chief (CINCs) of the Combatant Commands
and accelerate the deployment of enhanced capabilities to the field. Specifically, the goal of the Counterproliferation Support Program is to improve specific military
counterproliferation capabilities by (1) building on ongoing programs in the Services, DoD agencies, Department of Energy and US Intelligence; (2) focusing on the most
critical counterproliferation shortfalls to address major gaps in deployed capabilities (as reflected in the CINCs' priorities and the Counterproliferation Review Committee's
(CPRC) prioritized list of counterproliferation Areas for Capability Enhancements); (3) leveraging existing program funding to more rapidly field capabilities by
accelerating the deliverables of DoD programs; (4) identifying and enhancing the development of high payoff technologies to accelerate capabilities to the warfighter; (5)
identifying and promoting key non-materiel initiatives that complement technological advances; and (6) transitioning Counterproliferation Support Program projects to the
Services as soon as practicable.
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Project P535 - Countering Biological Weapons (BW)/Chemical Weapons (CW): This project enhances US capabilities to prevent or mitigate biological and chemical
threats/attacks. The project is divided into two categories: First Responder projects and Special Operations Forces (SOF) projects.
The purpose of the First Responder projects is to quickly leverage DoD biological and chemical response, detection and mitigation technologies to crisis and consequence
management response teams such as the US Army Technical Escort Unit (USA TEU), the Navy Defense Technical Response Group (DTRG), the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), the US Secret Service (USSS) and the Department of Public Health and Safety (PHS). These agencies have concepts of operation or
employment doctrines considerably different from Major Regional Contingency based nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) defense doctrine. These projects are
executed in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs of Staff CONPLAN 0300, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflicts)
and the Technical Support Working Group of the National Security Council's Working Group on Counterterrorism to ensure full interagency coordination of requirements.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Project P539 - Counterforce: The purpose of this project is to develop technologies, demonstrate prototype systems and provide the warfighter with enhanced capabilities
in response to current threat projections for potential adversaries who have the capability to develop and/or employ nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) weapons in
future regional conflicts involving the US or its allies. The US requires the capability to identify and characterize NBC research, production, storage and operational support
facilities and be prepared to attack and neutralize them while minimizing the collateral effects resulting from the expulsion and release of NBC agents. The potential target
set includes aboveground and underground hardened and unhardened facilities as well as tunneled facilities. The project started in FY95, and was structured to exploit
ongoing technology programs wherever possible. Near-term emphasis is being applied to efforts to predict and measure the target response and the dispersion of agents
associated with attacks against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) facilities using existing conventional weapons. In the mid-term, emphasis will be given to mitigating
collateral effects through advanced weapon development and optimized weapon employment. The long-term focus will change to the demonstration of target planning
tools, weapons and sensors that will support attacks on an expanded set of WMD targets that may include tunneled facilities. This project leverages ongoing DoD efforts to
detect and track mobile targets. The milestones and products presented either accelerate existing milestones or expand upon the capabilities developed by those programs.
Previous descriptions of this project were divided into seven functional areas: sensors, collateral effects, agent neutralization, enhanced payloads, target response, weapons
and the Counterproliferation Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (CP ACTD). This description is reduced to five functional areas: sensors, collateral effects,
target planning, weapons and the CP ACTD. The new functional structure recognizes the synergy between weapons, enhanced payloads and agent neutralization and
reflects consolidated management.
This-project builds on previous Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) projects to develop and mature sensor systems for treaty verification and underground facility
characterization to provide additional capabilities for pre-, trans- and post-attack target characterization and damage and collateral effects assessments. The project further
develops and accelerates capabilities in collateral effects prediction, target/weapon interaction prediction and funds the integration of these capabilities into service/CINC
target planning systems. The project also builds on the Air Force programs in advanced weapon guidance, penetration and fuse enhancements. Air Force weapon
development expertise will be used to integrate complementary, demonstrated technologies into prototype weapons that can improve prompt response, enhance lethality and
control collateral effects. Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs) will be used to expedite user access to advanced sensor systems and analysis methods,
mission planning and collateral effects assessment tools and advanced payloads and penetrating weapons.

1. Sensors. This effort will provide improved warfighting residual capabilities for facility characterization and battle damage assessment (BDA) against the spectrum of
WMD facilities. Basic research and development are currently in progress at DSWA to characterize signatures from shallow underground facilities for exploitation by
tactical unattended ground sensors (TUGS). Objectives of the current program include development of techniques for source identification, localization, and performing
change detection in trans-attack signatures for weapon effectiveness analysis. Current intelligence community (IC) and Department of Energy (DOE) programs involve
basic research and development to assess sensor performance and approaches for optimum sensor application for surface target detection and underground facility detection
and characterization. This sub-project will leverage existing programs to (1) define concept of operations and sensor system (ground, air, and weapon based) architectures
for BDA and facility characterization; (2) develop and demonstrate sensor technologies and prototype sensor systems for BDA and facility characterization; (3) produce data
fusion and processing module for BDA and facility characterization to meet user requirements on existing platforms; (4) produce an integrated BDA module and supporting
airborne and weapon-borne sensors; (5) develop and demonstrate a man-emplaced TUGS system which includes multi-sensor arrays and long-haul communications; (6)
develop and demonstrate an advanced air-emplaced TUGS system for BDA and facility characterization; and (7) evaluate and demonstrate advanced sensor systems for
UAV-based and ground-based remote identification of chemical and nuclear constituents expelled as a result of attacks on WMD facilities. Remote detection of biological
agents is being addressed in other DoD projects and will be integrated into the counterforce demonstrations when sufficiently mature.
2. Collateral Effects. The Collateral Effects program provides predictive tools for NBC expulsion and dispersion resulting from attacks on WMD facilities as well as acts of
terrorism and hostile use of WMD for a variety of applications supporting target attack planning and theater ballistic missile defense intercept or impact. Improvements
include high resolution weather models and measurement systems. A key element in developing these collateral effects codes is chemical/biological expulsion tests and
modeling needed to ensure early availability of predictive tools to support operational users. Funding will support teaming arrangements with DOE and ERDEC to provide
improved expulsion source output data. Modeling of chemical/biological expulsion sources will be based on theoretical model and empirical data. Codes will be validated
from existing data, other predictive models and special collateral effects experiments. The collateral effects tools will provide pre-attack prediction and post-attack
assessment. These tools will also be integrated into the target attack planning tools to assess the consequences of attacks on WMD facilities.
3. Target Planning. This effort builds on DSWA core programs to develop lethality data, including tests, analysis and models, for CP specific targets across the spectrum of
hardness. This includes 1) developing the lethality models for WMD specific targets, structures, systems, and components, including cumulative damage on WMD target
lethality (both physical and functional), and 2) developing a model addressing weapon/target interaction as source functions for collateral effects. The Munitions Effects
Assessment(MEA) targeting tool, developed by DSWA, will be expanded to address CP specific issues. The MEA will address other technologies such as the collateral
effects, enhanced payloads, sensors and target signatures, as well as interface with Service mission planning tools such as the USAF Rapid Application of Air Power (RAAP)
and CTAPS and the USN TAMPS. The culmination of all the test, data, analysis, and model development is to enhance the MEA to target WMD facilities including
collateral effects predictions, enhanced payload lethality, sensors and BDA signatures. This area includes development of the Proliferation Path Assessment and Targeting
System (PPATS) which assists in identifying critical steps in the proliferation process and aids in target identification/nomination.
4. Weapons. Conventional explosive-filled penetrating weapons are often relatively ineffective in destroying large underground reinforced concrete facilities, even if the
weapon detonates inside the facility, due to substantial interior walls and/or floors that confine the blast and fragmentation to a small area or result in complete and
uncontrolled destruction of soft buried and aboveground facilities. When these facilities protect WMD, the random use of conventional weapons greatly increases the risk of
NBC agent dispersal that may result in extensive civilian or friendly force casualties. This sub-project will develop, integrate and demonstrate advanced conventional
weapons technologies that will improve mission effectiveness against WMD facilities while minimizing collateral effects. These technologies include improvements in
adverse weather/precision guidance, enhanced penetrating capabilities, and agent defeat payloads that can reduce collateral effects by neutralizing agents before they are
released. Technologies that have been successfully demonstrated will be weaponized into prototype systems. Agent neutralization will require key data needed to
understand the collateral effects consequences of strikes against chemical and biological weapons-related facilities. The program also provides expelled agent viability
experiments on bunker strike demonstration tests already planned under other programs. Advanced fuses will enable weapons employment options which maximize
lethality and/or control collateral effects. Enhanced payloads will explore alternate warhead options to conventional blast/fragmentation with the objectives of minimizing
collateral effects associated with dispersal of WMD materials while also minimizing the number of weapons required to functionally defeat WMD facilities. Functional
defeat refers to eliminating a facility's capability to perform its intended function, even though the structure itself may remain largely intact. Capabilities established by this
program directly support the development of payload upgrades.
5. Counterproliferation (CP) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD). The Counterproliferation ACTD will improve the operational capability for
holding WMD targets at risk with controlled collateral effects. The objective is to integrate available or near-term technologies, evaluate the technologies in an operational
context and transition improved capabilities rapidly to warfighters. The focus of ACTD efforts is to integrate demonstrated technologies for sensors, weapons, collateral
effects and target planning tools into an end-to-end system and to conduct extensive system demonstrations in an operational context. Specifically, this project will enhance
and accelerate existing programs to provide integrated target planning to include collateral effects prediction codes and sensors for facility identification, characterization
and BDA, and advanced weapons development programs to meet WMD target defeat requirements. This counterproliferation program will also support demonstration
operations to include system operational concept, demonstration planning, scenario development, execution of the ACTD and post-demonstration analysis. Planning and
execution of the ACTDs use a time phased approach to screen candidate technologies for maturity, develop prototype systems and demonstrate enhancements in military
capability against a warfighter prioritized subset of all potential WMD target types. This approach results in a cycle of prototype development and testing followed by
periods of operational demonstration. Thus, the CP ACTD has been structured in phases.
Current planning covers several phases of the CP ACTD. The Phase I ACTD target is a bermed above ground simulated biological storage facility. The Phase II target is a
cut-and -cover simulated chemical production facility. The focus for Phase III and follow-on phases includes adverse-weather precision weapon guidance and advanced
sensors for target characterization and BDA and enhanced weapon payloads to minimize collateral effects.
