  Countermeasure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An expendable countermeasure is a body (usually for a military application) designed to prevent sensor-based weapons from acquiring and/or destroying a target.
Preemptive release of expendable countermeasures is based on altering the signature of the target by either concealing the platform signature, enhancing the signature of the background and thus minimizing the contrast of the scene.
Countermeasures are a complicating factor in the development anti-ballistic missile defense systems targeting ICBM's.

 Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today: Countermeasures
The report, "Countermeasures: A Technical Evaluation of the Operational Effectiveness of the Planned US National Missile Defense System" was coauthored by study chair Andrew M. Sessler, John M. Cornwall, Bob Dietz, Steve Fetter, Sherman Frankel, Richard L. Garwin, Kurt Gottfried, Lisbeth Gronlund, George N. Lewis, Theodore A. Postol, and David C. Wright.
However, countermeasures could be deployed more rapidly and would be available to potential attackers before the United States could deploy even the much less capable first phase of the system.
To determine whether technically simple countermeasures would be effective against the planned NMD system, we examined three potential countermeasures in detail: submunitions with biological or chemical weapons, nuclear warheads with anti-simulation balloon decoys, and nuclear warheads with cooled shrouds.

 Countermeasures
Such countermeasures would be available to any emerging missile state that deploys a long-range ballistic missile.
Countermeasure programs could be concealed from US intelligence much more easily than missile programs, and the United States should not assume that a lack of intelligence evidence is evidence that countermeasure programs do not exist.
Should such an analysis indicate that the NMD system may be able to deal with such countermeasures, a rigorous testing program that incorporates realistic countermeasures should be created to assess the operational effectiveness of the planned NMD system.

Determining who is contraindicated; monitoring, management, and care of the countermeasure site; evaluation of countermeasure ``takes;'' and contact transmission of vaccinia, among other things, all arise out of and are directly related to and part of the administration of the countermeasure.
To achieve a successful vaccination program and because it is impractical to have countermeasures administered at every health care entity involved in the program, it is critical that health care entities participate in this manner and that their personnel be protected while acting within their scope of employment.
The countermeasures set forth below shall be considered to be administered pursuant to this declaration when used for prevention or treatment of smallpox, or to control or treat the adverse effects of smallpox vaccination.

 SSRN-Traffic Safety Diagnostic and Application of Countermeasures for Rural Roads in Burkina Faso by Dominique Lord, ...
The primary objectives of the study were to prepare an assessment of traffic safety problems and to propose several countermeasures to reduce the number and severity of collisions on rural roads.
The most important countermeasures consist of creating a new institutional framework with which to improve the management of traffic safety and to train the key personnel who will be responsible for implementing traffic safety countermeasures.
In the long term, the proposed countermeasures include the review of current highway traffic laws, their application, the evaluation of countermeasures already in place, and the improvement of driver training.

 RFA-AI-04-045: Centers for Medical Countermeasures Against Radiation
The overall goal of this program is the development and maintenance of a strong infrastructure combined with the multidisciplinary research expertise and development capacity to generate new medical products that will protect against, mitigate the effects of, and treat the short- and long-term consequences of radiation exposure from terrorist attacks or accidental exposure.
Diverse research and development approaches are encouraged, but all projects must be focused on medical countermeasures to prevent, mitigate, or treat human injury incurred by radiological or nuclear attack, and must describe their feasibility for human use under emergency conditions.
Institutions must be in compliance with U.S. laws and regulations and DHHS and NIH policies in effect at the time of grant award and during the period of performance of the research.
