DTRA’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Program

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Program focuses on preventing and responding to threats posed by nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. It works to detect and disrupt these threats through research, technology development, and international partnerships. The program also aims to strengthen the security of materials and sites associated with these weapons and enhance global readiness to respond to any incidents. In essence, DTRA’s CWMD Program is about safeguarding nations and populations from the dangers of weapons that could cause massive harm.
