As a research, development and engineering center, ECBC provides life-cycle support for equipment and procedures that enhance warfighter survival and mission capability in environments that are contaminated by CB warfare agents. The life-cycle begins with the identification of problems that cannot be addressed by existing technology and equipment. At that point, novel concepts are identified and evaluated to address the capability gap and developed into a candidate system that meets user requirements. ECBC’s support is available to other government agencies (OGA) and commercial entities as they address the challenges of defending and securing the homeland. The Center maintains a broad portfolio across the lifecycle, mainly in the CBrne arena; however, due to its close proximity to the test activities at Aberdeen Proving Ground, ECBC actively assists in other areas.

The Center uniquely serves a joint service, multi-agency, and private sector customer base with a range of basic and applied research, technology development, engineering design, equipment evaluation, product support, sustainment, field operations, and demilitarization solutions. This diversity of clients, products, and solutions makes ECBC a national CBRNE asset. ECBC is defined by its clients and the missions they serve.
