Counterproliferation Modernization

Mission— Counterproliferation Modernization

Counterproliferation (CP) Modernization supports the 2025 Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance objective of peace through strength with modernized capabilities that reestablish deterrence and rebuild our military. Program investments in CP capabilities, including pathway defeat and WMD device defeat activities, enable the Department to maintain credible options to defend the homeland against WMD use. Investments result in capabilities that take action against actors of concern and reduce access to WMD development pathways and delay further development, degrade capabilities where possible, and prevent WMD use. (2023 DoD Strategy to Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD)). This Program Element (PE) modernizes currently fielded capabilities for operating units with assigned CP/CWMD missions to disrupt, degrade, delay, deny, and defeat adversary nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, delivery platforms, command and control systems, and hardened and deeply buried targets. Program investments enable modernized WMD deterrence and CP capabilities that provide flexible options across all domains, including tactical situational awareness, low visibility methods of maneuver, and the ability to employ immediate effects without diminishing future capabilities, enabling active campaigning that supports the Administration’s CP priorities, mitigating risk to mission and risk to force. Funding is prioritized for projects that close Joint Force warfighter capability gaps to defend Taiwan and the homeland. An annual investment strategy is used to meet emergent operational needs validated by the Joint Force, yielding new fielded capabilities within one to two years. This program funds labor, materials, and travel in support of its requirements, performed by a government agency or by private individuals or organizations under a contract with the government, for activities and acquisitions including Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E), assessments and analyses, , education, and other activities related to capability development and fielding of nuclear modernization, homeland missile defense, one-way attack autonomous systems, critical cybersecurity and counter-small UAS initiatives.
