- This report was commissioned by the Home Office and MOD to identify technologies and capabilities that could improve government’s ability to detect and respond to an airborne biological attack or infectious disease outbreak. It was very well received by the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, and had a direct impact on national policy as the National Security Science and Technology Committee and other key departments were tasked with implementing the findings.
