Human performance: enduring competition


10 February 2016

Context

• the human component is central to delivering military capability

• provision of sufficient, capable and appropriately trained personnel is critical to operational success

• need to sustain capability by protection, treatment and rehabilitation

• high quality support, care and treatment at all points along the continuum of care


10 February 2016 © Dstl 2014

Themes Systems interface Survivability Sustainment Training and education Medical sciences Physical and mental health

UK OFFICIAL


Defence Human and Medical Sciences will be intrinsic to Future Force Capability. Whole Force supported through Whole Service

Life Care will be the foundation of next generation defence personnel.

The Future Force will achieve a symbiotic relationship with technology, engendering enhanced information management and

exploitation, shaping and influencing the defence and security landscape.

UNCLASSIFIED

The longer term The following aspects of the Tier 1 and 2 risks may become even more likely and/or have a greater impact over the longer term: • antimicrobial resistance • cyber related threats • chemical and biological attacks against the UK or its forces • pressure on allies or undermining of our military and economic

alliances and institutions • emerging infectious diseases • serious and organised crime, eg human trafficking • proliferation: acquisition of nuclear, chemical and biological

weapons (CBW), and advanced conventional weapons by state and non-state actors

Programme vision

Through the contribution of science and technology:

• Chemical, Biological and Radiological

(CBR) weapons/materials will have no strategic or tactical effect

• perpetrators will be identified • restraint is rewarded and acceptable

norms are reinforced

How do we know if there's been a release of a biological agent, distinguish it from background and inform a timely response?


How can we identify a covert facility producing a chemical or biological agent?

UNCLASSIFIED © Crown 10 February 2016

How do we know if an individual has been exposed to a biological agent in a timely manner (before symptoms)? Can we modulate the immune system to improve the chances of survival: • after exposure to a biological

agent • before symptoms • before identification of the

agent?


How do we maintain high levels of protection for our armed forces but reduce the burden? Especially important when they need to do something


How do we know if something is contaminated and what’s the best way of dealing with that?


If a large stockpile of chemical weapons were needed to be dealt with, what’s the best, quickest and most expedient way of dealing with it?


How can we influence the international community by reinforcing what’s acceptable and what isn't, particularly where conventions don’t apply?


Back to the vision – can we make the use of CBW weapons obsolete because we don’t want to see this
