Strategic Context
NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY: RISKS
Tier 1 : International terrorism including the use of
CBRN materials
Tier 2 : Attack on the UK or its Territories by a state or
proxy using CBRN weapons
SDSR: NATIONAL SECURITY TASKS & PLANNING
GUIDELINES:
We will .. tackle those who threaten the UK & our
interests, including maintenance of underpinning
technical expertise in key areas. To deliver this we
require … retention of our CBRN science and
technology capabilities that contribute to counter-
proliferation and our response to the potential use of
such materials by terrorist or state actors
26 March 2014

UNCLASSIFIED
National Security Through Technology
26 March 2014
• ... ensure small and medium sized companies can
continue to deliver the innovation and flexibility we need.
• Building on the Centre for Defence Enterprise’s (CDE)
success in providing efficient access to innovation, we will
broaden its remit to cover both the defence and security
domains.
• …the most significant challenges currently faced by both
the defence and security communities…where we judge
the UK will get best value-for-money from science &
technology:
– being able to identify and effectively mitigate CBRN
threats to the UK and its interests

o Provision of sufficient, capable and appropriately
trained personnel is critical to operational
success
o Need to sustain capability by protection,
treatment and rehabilitation
o High quality support, care and treatment at all
points along the continuum of care essential

Casualty Care
Investigating techniques and interventions that address complex injuries from
current and emerging battlefield threats in conventional warfare. Future emphasis
on maintaining skills and capability post-Herrick, to operate in austere
environments, with extended time to treatment windows.
Contingent Operational Medicine
Focused on improving numbers of those fit to deploy, by developing effective
diagnostics, countermeasures and interventions against occupational and
environmental stressors to maximise health, performance and fitness on military
duties.
Whole Service Life Care
Focused on providing definitive and rehabilitative care to improve duty
performance and quality of life for service personnel injured in military conflict,
minimising residual disability and providing aftercare support to wounded veterans.
Medical Systems
Research, develop and evaluate systems that will maintain and/or enhance the
effectiveness of deployed forces in extreme and austere environments and
produce medical treatments, interventions and rehabilitative support to injured
personnel.
