Product Development

Counterproliferation (CP) Advanced Development prioritizes investments aligned to the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) and supports the 2026 National Defense Strategy (NDS) objective of peace through strength with advanced development of capabilities that reestablish deterrence and rebuild our military. Program investments in CP capabilities, enable the Department to maintain credible options to defend the homeland against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) use. Investments result in capabilities that take action to neutralize nuclear, chemical, biological and radiological materials of concern (2026 NDS). This program fields new capabilities to operating units with assigned CP/CWMD missions that disrupt, degrade, delay, deny, and defeat adversary nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, delivery platforms, command and control systems, and hardened and deeply buried targets. Fielded capabilities provide exquisite tactical situational awareness, low visibility methods of maneuver, and the ability to employ immediate effects without diminishing future military options that supports the Administration’s CP priorities, enabling active campaigning that supports the Administration’s CP priorities, mitigating escalatory risk. Funding is prioritized for projects that close Joint Force warfighter capability gaps, including the defense along the First Island Chain (FIC) and the western hemisphere. An annual investment strategy is used to meet emergent operational requirements that are validated by the Joint Force. This yields 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 bio-deterrence, nuclear modernization, homeland missile defense, one-way attack autonomous systems, and maritime/FIC territory superiority.

Mission & acquisition strategy

Counterproliferation (CP) Advanced Development prioritizes investments aligned to the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) and supports the 2026 National Defense Strategy (NDS) objective of peace through strength with advanced development of capabilities that reestablish deterrence and rebuild our military. Program investments in CP capabilities, enable the Department to maintain credible options to defend the homeland against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) use. Investments result in capabilities that take action to neutralize nuclear, chemical, biological and radiological materials of concern (2026 NDS).

The Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Nuclear Deterrence, Chemical, and Biological Defense Policy and Programs (OASW(ND-CBD)) establishes annual priorities based on national and the DoW strategies and Administration guidance. Based on those priorities, OASW(ND-CBD) solicits project proposals from Combatant Commands, Military Services, and Defense Agencies. To be selected, a proposed project must have a validated requirement, an engaged requirement champion, a viable acquisition strategy, and a qualified program management office. In support of CWMD campaigning, a technology project must identify its starting and desired end-state Technology Readiness Level.
