Joint Program Office for Special Technology Countermeasures

The Joint Program Office for Special Technology Countermeasures (JPO-STC) provides the combatant commanders, Military Services, and DOD mission planners with the ability to assess their infrastructure dependencies and the potential impact on military operations resulting from disruptions to key infrastructure components. Specific infrastructures addressed include electric power, natural gas, liquid petroleum, transportation, and telecommunications (public switched telephone network).

JPO-STC also conducts technical assessments of emerging special technologies to determine their potential impacts to military and civilian systems and proposes countermeasure solutions and/or response options, as warranted.
