Research &Development Partnerships 3 of S&T’s Laboratories Operate out of the Office of National Labs

Science and Technology (S&T) Laboratories National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) Ft Detrick, MD Bioterrorism Threats Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) Atlantic City, NJ Improvised Explosive Threats National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) NY, NY Nuclear Detection, First Responders Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) * Off Long Island Animal Diseases Chemical Security Analysis Center (CSAC) Aberdeen, MD Chemical Threats * PIADC to be replaced by National Bio and Agro Defense Facility (NBAF) in Manhattan, KS 9

CSAC - Lab at a Glance 10 Chemical Security Analysis Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground – Edgewood Area (APG-EA), Edgewood, MD Co-Located with DoD for improved capability and ROI Established in 2006, CSAC is one of five DHS/S&T Laboratories Focus is on understanding and mitigating toxic chemical threats and hazardous chemical processes Edgewood, MD location leverages Army expertise in the areas of chemical defense, chemical threat agents, and toxic industrial chemicals 2 nd MOA signed in May, 2011 reinforces the cooperative relationship between DHS/S&T’s CSAC and DoD Chemical Security Analysis Center (CSAC) Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC)

CSAC Project Overview Approach  Focus on information related to chemical threats  Integration and analysis of chemical threat information and data  Reachback capability to provide expert analysis support  Fusion of information from different communities  Coordinate all activities with stakeholders/customers  Only Homeland Security Enterprise activity whose primary focus is  Data and information collection and collation (Library)  Threat and Risk Analysis  Significant leveraging occurring with intra- DHS and interagency stakeholders Goal: To provide an enduring capability to identify and characterize the chemical threat against the American homeland and American public. Basic Science Chemical Industry Intelligence Community Operational Requirements CSAC CSAC-11 This project provides the base funding for the CSAC to be a “one stop shop” for Chemical Threat related information for the Interagency.

CSAC Major Tasks 12 This Project provides the core funding for the CSAC activities Provides an enduring capability for chemical threat awareness and knowledge management Capability is heavily utilized within DHS and the Homeland Security Enterprise
