Aim
To prepare INTEL Analysts and CBRN Specialists to identify the associated indicators and warnings of a developing WMD/CBRN program. This course examines CBRN strategic threats to NATO, introduces basic CBRN production and weapons concepts, describes the processes to develop a WMD/CBRN capability, and explores the indicators of clandestine programs.
