Description

Mission Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD)

The Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) line supports test and evaluation efforts for overall chemical, radiological, and biological detection and protection for the warfighter for multiple programs of record, including the Advanced Radiological, Nuclear Detection Family of Systems (ARND FoS), the Vehicle Integrated Platform Enhanced Radiac (VIPER), and the Chemically Protected Deployable Medical System (CP DEPMEDS). The Advanced Radiological, Nuclear Detection Family of Systems (ARND FoS) will provide an enhanced standoff, wide area/ networked detection capability to produce a radiological nuclear site picture depicting radiological hot spots and facilitating the detection of high priority areas of interest/focus on an objective. ARND FoS benefits the warfighter with the capability that will provide enhanced radiological and nuclear detection to support search and find of sources of interest for Sensitive Site Assessment (SSA) and Sensitive Site Exploitation (SSE).? In FY26, ARND FoS will continue performance and integration testing to validate the capability meets the defined requirement. The Vehicle Integrated Platform Enhanced Radiac (VIPER) is a small radiation sensor that modernizes the Army's capabilities to monitor for platform crew exposure to radiological/nuclear (rad/nuc) hazards. The system mounts within the crew compartment of multiple U.S. Army ground and aviation platforms. The system provides gamma dose rate, gamma dose, and gamma/neutron (i.e., prompt) dose measurements in a small, ruggedized form factor. In FY26, VIPER will award a contract to build test assets and provide test/integration support. The CP DEPMEDS program procures equipment to provide chemical and biological protection to US Army Role 3 field hospitals. CP DEPMEDS RDTE BA5 funding discontinues after FY24 to transition to procurement. FY26 Base amount of $13.387 million supports ARND FoS ($5.387M) and VIPER ($8.000M). The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.028 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."
