Source: U.S. Senate, Committee on Armed Services. Published: 11/20/2019. This one-hour, 33-minute Congressional hearing details biological threats facing the country, major drivers of those threats, and key Department of Defense programs that are aimed at preparing for and responding to them. Witnesses discuss how new and evolving technologies have enabled a more dangerous and dynamic biothreat landscape than is contemplated in current biodefense policy and programs, and how health security is national security, in a world that is increasingly dangerous and interdependent.
