warfighters and the technical community, sustains the nuclear deterrent,
and provides both offensive and defensive technology and operational
concepts to the warfighters. DTRA reduces the threat of WMD by
implementing arms control treaties and executing the Cooperative Threat
Reduction Program. It uses combat support, technology development, and
chemical-biological defense to deter the use and reduce the impact of
such weapons. It prepares for future threats by developing the
technology and concepts needed to counter the new weapons of mass
destruction threats and adversaries.
