The attacks on the World Trade Center of September 11, 2001 ushered in a new sense of vulnerability of the United States to terrorists acts. A new awareness has emerged following the use of Anthrax/Biological weapons of mass destruction on the American public. The use of Nuclear, (NBC) Chemical, Biological (CBWA) and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) is a real threat to our country. Targets for opportunity by the terrorists exists in key Federal and Military installations and complexes as well as the command and control centers which serves the infrastructure of the nation. |

This system will make government and military buildings (such as the Pentagon, the Capital, the White House, Army barracks, office buildings, and Command and Control centers) far less attractive targets for attack by airborne/aerosolized chemical or biological warfare agents (CWA, BWA), by modifying and augmenting building infrastructure to greatly reduce the effectiveness of any such attack. The program has three goals: to protect the human inhabitants of such buildings in the event of an attack; to restore the building to full function as quickly as possible after the attack; and to preserve forensic evidence for treatment. |
