    Joint Operations Center  This page features digital media assets that highlight DTRA JSTO funded capabilities and research, as well as public presentation by senior leaders. Welcome to the official video library of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) Chemical and Biological Technologies Department in its role as the Joint Science and Technology Office (JSTO) for the Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). This page features digital media assets that highlight DTRA JSTO supported capabilities and research, as well as public presentations by senior leaders.
 **OVERVIEW VIDEO** The DTRA JSTO Overview Video illustrates the mission and strategic priorities of the program. Viewers will learn more about who we are and what we do to protect the warfighter and the nation.
 A NEW DOMAINE FOR THE PANDEMIC ERA DTRA JSTO has developed an initiative called DOMANE — Discovery of Medical Countermeasures Against Novel Entities. The initiative uses AI/ML tools to rapidly identify a combination of previously approved drugs for use against emerging biological threats, including COVID-19.
 **BE PREPARED: MACHINE LEARNING IS EQUIPPING US FOR THE UNKNOWN** DTRA JSTO’s research is developing a machine learning capability that uses non-invasive, wearable devices to provide early warning of infection. The Rapid Analysis of Threat Exposure (RATE) program is an early infection-warning system that can warn of an infection up to 48 hours before overt symptoms appear.
 **PACKING HEAT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19** When the DoD needed to transport COVID-19 patients safely on military aircraft, DTRA JSTO developed a decontamination system called Joint Biological Agent Decontamination System (JBADS) Lite. The unit produces high heat and humidity to effectively destroy RNA microbes and sanitize the aircraft.
 **BIOLOGICAL RAPID RESPONSE: PREPARING FOR SURPRISE** Experts from DTRA JSTO discuss the importance of an integrated, whole-government approach against biological threats. These preparation measures include multiple roles and responsibilities when dealing with hazardous situations during a biological response.
