Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate

The Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD) is a division within certain governmental agencies, notably in the context of U.S. security, focused on preventing the proliferation and use of weapons capable of causing widespread harm. These weapons include nuclear, chemical, and biological arms. The WMDD works to detect, deter, and respond to threats associated with these weapons, coordinating efforts among intelligence, law enforcement, and international partners. Its goal is to enhance national and global security by mitigating risks posed by states or non-state actors who may seek to develop or use such destructive capabilities.
