| Introduction:With increasing threats of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in future war especially biological threats against our country necessity of using novel technologies in crisis management against new warfare’s is very important. Passive defense as a peaceful and preventive strategy without any warfare is able to not only monitor the prospect of new warfare specially biological warfare but also is able to enhance the infrastructure to resist against these kind of threats to reduce the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
Methods: In this research we have used our experiences during past decades and international expertise to apply novel technologies in biology, medicine and novel communication systems for passive defense against WMD especially biological threats.
Result: If we categorize crisis management to four steps of prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery with recent development of novel technologies in Biology, medicine, computer and communication networks we are able to enhance our passive defense capability to reduce the devastating impact of WMD and return to the situation before crisis in the biological threats.
Conclusion: The lack of a comprehensive national plan and integrated organizational structure to deal with the threats of modern warfare in higher level weakness of our medical and health system and also lack of educational system for our health care personnel specially physician and nurses and Lack of specialized equipment and facilities to deal with the new threats and reduce vulnerability to be increased to cope with the new threats, especially the threat of biological warfare is main problem of fighting against WMD. In this study we have presented new model to enhance our capability against these kinds of threats |
