PASCC Annual Report 2013.pdf (2.195Mb)Abstract
In 2011, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) established a research unit at the Naval Postgraduate
School to plan and conduct strategic and future-oriented research studies that support DTRA’s mission to
counter the full spectrum of threats posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The creation of the Project
on Advanced Systems and Concepts for Countering WMD (PASCC) marked a transformation in the way
DTRA sponsors research on emerging WMD challenges to be more efficient and effective in helping policy
makers tackle tough issues.

at the Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). The CCC serves as the
