Our COVID-19 Response Efforts
Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND)'s core focus areas contribute to building a more lethal force, a priority in the National Defense Strategy, and streamline JPEO-CBRND efforts to meet the Joint Service’s needs in combating chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats.
JPEO-CBRND is supporting our interagency partners in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic, from helping develop detection, diagnosis, treatment, and vaccines for our Warfighters, to tools that increase situational awareness of the coronavirus, all thanks to our team effort with industry and academia.
