Defense Threat Reduction Agency

Overview forUHM Neutrino Workshop

4 February 2004

2 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

DTRA makes the world safer by reducing the threat from weapons of mass destruction

A combat support agency that is part of the Department of Defense: –Nearly 2,100 civilian and military personnel–Funded at $2.4 billion for FY 04

The near-term interface between research and development and the ultimate user, the warfighter

We use a comprehensive set of tools to accomplish our mission: arms control, threat reduction,

technology development, chemical and biological defense, and combat support

DoD's "go-to" agency on WMD threats


Weapons of mass destruction are the most serious threat to the United States

Nuclear Weapons. . .difficult to acquire,

devastating in use

BiologicalWeapons

. . .use available technology and are potentially catastrophic

Chemical Weapons

. . .cheap and easy to make


…but we only know what is reported

NuclearIn addition to plutonium and uranium, spent nuclear fuel and radiological medical waste pose a significant threat in the hands of terrorists

Dozens of attempted nuclear smuggling incidents are reported annually


The chemical attack on the Tokyo subway killed twelve and injured more than 5,500

…one milligram of sarin can kill a person

ChemicalIndustrial chemicals are a significant threat in terrorist hands


The 2001 anthrax attacks killed five, exposed hundreds, and resulted in costly cleanup activities

…one billionth of a gram of anthrax can kill a person

BiologicalLegitimate medical research can resemble weapon production


DTRA uses a comprehensive set of tools to reduce the threat of weapons of mass destruction

Arms Control:Fulfilling treaty obligations and countering proliferation

Threat Reduction:Dismantling the former Soviet nuclear arsenal in place and eliminating Iraqi weapons of mass destruction

Chemical and Biological Defense:Assuring operations in hostile environments

Technology Development:Developing, testing and fielding offensive and defensive technologies

Making the World Safer

Combat Support:Assessing vulnerabilities, assuring the nuclear deterrent


Arms Control:

Assessing the threat environment first-hand

Implementing intrusive arms control

inspections to fulfill U.S. treaty obligations

On-Site InspectionSuccesses include the START, INF and CFE treaties


Enhancing border security across the

former Soviet Union to prevent WMD smuggling

Nonproliferation

Arms Control:

Stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction

Currently training and equipping border guards on the proliferation front lines


Search for, secure and dispose of

chemical, biological and nuclear threats

Weapons Elimination

Threat Reduction:

Eliminating Iraqi weapons of mass destruction

DTRA is supporting CENTCOM in the elimination of Iraqi WMD capabilities


Cooperative Threat Reduction:

Securing and dismantling strategic offensive arms in countries of the former Soviet Union

CooperativeThreat Reduction

Enhancing Russian nuclear weapon storage and transportation security

while eliminating strategic bombers, missiles and submarines

Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine are now nuclear weapon-free


Technology Development:

Taking the fight to the enemy: new weapons to defeat new threats

Counterproliferation

Rapidly developed thermobaric tunnel-busting weapons and cruise

missile penetrator warheads

DTRA is revolutionizing the development of advanced weapons to defeat difficult targets


Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense:

Detecting weapons of mass destruction

Field-testing nuclear protection systems, chemical agent

detectors and a prototype biological defense capability

WMD DetectionDTRA field-tested a radiological detection system at four military installations in 2002-2003


Combat Support:

Protecting against weapons of terror

Force protection techniques andblast mitigation

technology

Homeland Security

DTRA recommended Pentagon renovations reduced casualties on September 11

Scenario development

and threat modeling and

simulation


Combat Support:

Managing risk by preparing for the unthinkable

Consequence Management

WMD incident

responseDeveloped hazard

prediction and assessment software

Developed "playbooks" for WMD events that form the foundation of the National Response Plan


Combat Support:

Deterring the use of weapons of mass destruction

Nuclear Deterrence

Sustaining our nuclear deterrent

Developed the first nuclear weapon management plan for the Department of Defense
