Department of Defense policy is to protect all military and civilian personnel on military installations against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) attacks, specifically 'to protect personnel on military installations and DOD-owned or leased facilities from CBRNE attacks, to respond to these attacks with trained and equipped emergency responders, and to ensure installations are able to continue critical operations during an attack and to resume essential operations after an attack. Compliance with this memorandum, however, will be an enormous undertaking. Existing technologies that will enable DOD to fully implement its CBRNE protective policy must be identified and validated. Technology gaps in DOD's ability to respond to and resist specific CBR threats must be identified and solutions that fill those gaps must be developed. This work summarizes past and current research in target technological areas, with a focus on three CBR protection sub-areas: (1) modeling and simulation of airborne chemical/biological contaminant dispersion in a building, (2) intelligent building control, and (3) CBR-related whole building diagnostics.
