As a component of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Chemical and Biological Defense Program, the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) advances the development of CBRN defense capabilities to enable the Joint Force – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and First Responders – to fight and win in a CBRN-contested environment.
JPEO-CBRND's core focus areas contribute toward National Defense Strategy priorities such as building a more lethal force, deterring our adversaries from using CBRN weapons and ensuring Joint Force readiness against CBRN threats.
JPEO-CBRND is comprised of four Joint Project Managers (JPM) and two Joint Project Leads (JPL). The JPMs provide oversight for one of the JPEO-CBRND portfolio areas, CBRN Protection, CBRN Medical, CBRN Sensors and CBRN Special Operations Forces. The two JPLs provide portfolio-wide support across the JPEO-CBRND enterprise and focus on enabling CBRN defense biotechnologies and CBRN integration.
Provide integrated layered Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense capabilities to the Joint Force across warfighting functions and Combined Joint All-Domain Operations
A resilient Joint Force enabled to fight and win unencumbered by a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear environment; championed by innovative, agile, results-oriented acquisition professionals
JPM CBRN Protection develops, fields and sustains CBRN protection and mitigation capabilities for the warfighter and the Nation. They develop next-generation physical protection capabilities, like masks and suits, that reduce physiological burden and enhance protection against threats. JPM CBRN Protection also develops contamination mitigation technologies, including decontamination systems, to significantly decrease the time and materials required to decontaminate personnel and equipment.
JPM CBRN Medical provides the advanced development and acquisition of medical solutions, such as nerve agent antidotes and diagnostic systems, to combat CBRN threats. They deliver safe, effective, and affordable medical solutions to counter threats and enable the Joint Force to fight and win in any denied environment. JPM CBRN Medical products span the continuum of medical care, providing an integrated layered medical defense, to include prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
JPM CBRN Sensors develops, fields and sustains CBRN sensors, reconnaissance systems, and mobile laboratory capabilities. They provide integrated early warning by bringing together the products in their portfolio along with robotics and autonomous systems, decision support tools, machine learning and artificial intelligence to provide situational awareness and understanding of CBRN threats.
JPM CBRN SOF rapidly acquires and equips Special Operations and Special Purpose Forces with critical CBRN defense equipment necessary for mission success. Their focus is to further develop crucial technologies necessary for survival and unimpeded operations in denied CBRN environments. These technologies are transitioned to other Programs of Record as appropriate to enhance the capability of the Joint Force.
JPL CBRND Enabling Biotechnologies enables the rapid development, manufacture, and fielding of safe and effective medical solutions across the full product spectrum, including development, clinical trials, manufacturing, and validated biological threat detection materials. These solutions support programs across the JPEO-CBRND portfolio by lowering product development risks and accelerating product maturity.
JPL CBRN Integration is responsible for the total lifecycle of enterprise information technology systems and provides enterprise-wise CBRN threat warning and reporting, hazard prediction, and decision support capabilities for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of CBRN defense information. These capabilities provide commanders with more complete situational understanding of all the threats in the battlespace by integrating CBRN defense systems with traditional defense systems.
The JPEO-CBRND leads, manages, and directs the acquisition and fielding of CBRN sensors, protective equipment, medical countermeasures, information management systems, defense enabling biotechnologies, and specialized equipment for U.S. Special Forces.
Our Capabilities Catalog provides an overview of the current and enduring defense products fielded to the joint force.
The JPEO-CBRND's leadership and workforce structure is essential to its mission and goals as the Joint Force's lead for all investments in CBRN defense equipment. Learn how the organization integrates across the headquarters and six Joint Project Management/Lead offices.
Digital Transformation is the adoption of digital technologies to enhance business processes and improve capability development. The JPEO-CBRND Digital Transformation SmartBook provides an entry-level overview of how our organization is using digital technology for day-to-day operations across our functional areas.
