What is the function of the Advanced Systems and Concepts Office?
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Advanced Systems and Concepts Office (ASCO) is tasked with defining a disciplined, analytic framework for dealing with the full spectrum of present and evolving threats. Composed of a small cadre of military and civilian personnel, augmented by temporary detailees from other government agencies, industry and academia, ASCO analyzes weapons of mass destruction threats, develops requirements forecasts and integrates the results into DTRA’s future resource planning.
