## What project RA buys

The Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Cross-Cutting Technical and Information Sciences project provides technical expertise through continuous reachback and quick reaction support to the United States and its allies across the CWMD mission space. The project performs continuous modeling of ad hoc computational analyses on the consequences of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in consultation with military and civilian planners, warfighters, and first responders. The project also supports international CWMD cooperation by developing technologies and concepts suitable for foreign release.
