MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With the growing threat of weapons of mass destruction, it has never
been more important for the U.S. military to possess sufficient means to
prevent and respond to this threat. The mission of the Joint Program
Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense (JPEO CBD) is to
protect the nation's armed forces from weapons of mass destruction by
equipping them with the latest chemical, biological, radiological and
nuclear and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) defense equipment and
capabilities. To support this mission, the Department of Defense has
awarded Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) a spot on the $8.27 billion
Joint Enterprise Research Development, Acquisition and Procurement (JE
RDAP) IDIQ contract to strengthen the nation's CBRNE defense systems and
capabilities.
"The CBRNE systems and equipment developed by the JPEO CBD provide
critical protection for our nation and its military services at home and
abroad," said Nicole
Funk, senior vice president at Booz Allen. "Having supported the
CBRNE Defense community for over years 25 years, Booz Allen will
leverage our advances in analytics, artificial intelligence, systems
integration, rapid prototyping, cyber and disease detection to further
the JPEO CBD's mission."
