Mission Areas

Sandia’s force protection work encompasses protecting critical mission functions, personnel, high-value assets, installations, infrastructure, and forces on the move.
Through the BioNet project, Sandia has developed a simulation tool that is providing insights on how to coordinate the response of military and civilian personnel to a bioagent release in an urban area.

 

Chemical and biological protection systems

EDS Explosives Destruction System
(EDS) Explosives Destruction System:This transportable system enables the safe destruction of legacy chemical weapons.

Sandia is closely involved with creating chemical and biological defense systems for the military. These systems include sensors for early detection of threats, networks that indicate the best sensor configuration in terms of performance requirements and cost, and decision aids to guide response to attacks.

We've also supplied systems engineering support to the Non-Stockpile Chemical Material Program to help this group overcome the many challenges of decreasing the chemical weapon threat.
