Background In the National Academy of Sciences' (NAS) 2009 report, Global Security Engagement: A New Model for Cooperative Threat Reduction, NAS affirmed the usefulness of the traditional metrics of the DoD CTR Program for evaluating effectiveness in traditional CTR WMD elimination or site security program areas, in which concrete actions such as chemical munitions, warhead delivery systems, and launchers destroyed or chemical or nuclear warheads and weapons materials secured clearly lead to threat reduction.

We can measure the amount of equipment provided and the number of training events conducted or scientists engaged; however, we need better measures to show that these efforts actually result in changed practices or additional effectiveness. As an example that makes evident the findings in the NAS report and reflects a matter DoD has recognized in connection with the CTR Program, a metric based on the number of Zonal Diagnostic Laboratories built under the BTRP may not accurately reflect the partner country's enhanced capability for pathogen detection and reporting.

Conclusion CTR program metrics serve as a means to evaluate how well program objectives have been accomplished. Several traditional CTR program metrics are still very applicable and useful measures of CTR Program threat reduction achievements.

Description of New Metrics The table in Appendix 2 depicts the linkages and associations across 6 program objectives, 5 program capabilities, 10 attributes, 20 MOEs, measurement values, and minimum/objective values. The CBEP will utilize these revised metrics throughout planning, implementation, and final assessment of country/region engagements.

Proficiency could be indicated in some manner on a summary graphic; however, the complexity of the program does not lend itself to simplification into a single scorecard metric. Chemical Weapons Elimination Program description The original program task for the Chemical Weapons Elimination program was to assist the Russian Federation in establishing a chemical weapons destruction facility (CWDF)

CWE Metrics Report Date Total Rounds Total Metric Tons August 3, 2010 532,806 1461.8 However, since the number of munitions (total rounds) correlates closely to the amount of nerve agent destroyed, for the purposes of reporting externally in the "CTR scorecard" only the metric tons of agent destroyed will be reported.

A RAM analysis to establish the baseline threshold and objective capacities of the facility in this configuration was completed in August 2005. That analysis determined that the design capacity threshold for the completed facility is 1,000 metric tons of agent destruction per year, with a design capacity objective of 1,700 metric tons of agent destruction per year (capacity for two main destruction buildings with two DPLs operating in each)
|
From page 73... ...
Based upon the RAM analysis, the estimated Achieved Availability was 35.4 percent, which would result in an overall annual throughput rate of 1,382.5 metric tons for the facility with two main destruction buildings in operation with two operational DPLs in each. In order to achieve the objective of 1,700 metric tons per year, an overall Achieved Availability of approximately 44 percent would be required.

program to other partner countries, DTRA has been working to develop enhanced metrics that better reflect how our efforts are contributing to overall threat reduction. These new metrics are aimed at measuring the capability of Russia (and in the future, other countries)

Further development of the methodology is planned jointly with DOE to clarify roles and responsibilities more completely. These metrics would be provided as an appendix to the CTR Scorecard Note: NWTS program metrics will remain the same, as these continue to track the threat reduction impact of this project.

Program Metrics The ability to measure simply and objectively the impact that WMD-PPP assistance has had on threat reduction is challenging due to the nature of the program: we are providing a capability to our partners that gives them an ability to deter proliferation. Thus, as we are unable to show quantitatively that proliferation has, in fact, been prevented, we must measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the capacity provided.
