The Advanced Systems and Concepts Office (ASCO) stimulates, identifies and executes high-impact seed
projects to encourage new thinking, address technology gaps
and improve the operational capabilities of DTRA, DOD and
other government agencies in response to weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) threats. It supports the evolution of
DTRA and serves in the role of pathfinder, forward observer,
catalyst, integrator and leader in order to maximize our
country's defensive capabilities against weapons of mass
destruction.
ASCO supports DTRA through projects that are designed to
encourage alternative thinking, innovative strategies and
cross-cutting integrated approaches to WMD threats. Also
central to fulfilling the DTRA mission is the advice and
assistance provided by the Threat
Reduction Advisory Committee (TRAC), as established
by the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology
and Logistics). ASCO integrates its work with the advice
and recommendations of the TRAC.
ASCO is currently conducting projects covering many aspects
of WMD threat reduction. ASCO requires that project leadership
be experienced in the specific topical areas of interest
to ensure production of timely, relevant and high-quality
products. Multiple employment avenues are used by ASCO to
obtain and maintain excellence in its technical leadership.
Individuals or organizations interested in WMD defense issues
may contact us for additional information.
