CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (EMD)

Abstract

The projects in this PE support the development, build, and test of products to verify all operational and derived requirements have been met, and to support production or deployment decisions. The activities include mature system development, integration, and demonstration to support Milestone C decisions, and conducting operational test and evaluation of production representative articles. Individual projects include: - Contamination Avoidance (CA5): system development of reconnaissance, detection, identification, and warning systems that minimize CBR contamination and prevent further cross-contamination during operations. - Homeland Defense. (CM5): system development of common analytical laboratory system capabilities to conduct on-site analysis of any unknown sample and test potential life-threatening substances. - Collective Protection. (CO5): system development of collectively protected systems that are smaller, lighter, less costly to produce and maintain, and more logistically supportable enabling mission accomplishment in spaces safe from the effects of CBR contamination. - Decontamination Systems (DE5): system development of Contamination Mitigation (ConMit) systems utilizing solutions that will remove and/or detoxify contaminated material without damaging combat equipment, personnel, or the environment. - Individual Protection (IP5): system development of the next generation protective ensembles (e.g., suits, boots, and gloves) and respiratory and ocular protection equipment (e.g., protective masks) which enable the Joint Force to operate in a contaminated CBR environment with little or no degradation to his/her performance. - Information Systems (IS5): system development of information architectures, applications, and cybersecurity hardening for shaping the battlespace against CBR threats. - Medical Biological Defense (MB5): product development of medical biological countermeasure platform technologies, medical biological countermeasures (vaccines and therapeutics), reagents, assays, and diagnostic equipment to provide an effective capability for medical defense against biological warfare agent threats facing U.S. Forces in the field. - Medical Chemical Defense (MC5): product development of medical materiel and other medical equipment items (e.g., diagnostic equipment, prophylactic, pre-treatment, and therapeutic drugs, and individual/casualty decontamination compounds) necessary to provide an effective capability for medical defense against chemical warfare agent threats facing U.S. Forces in the field. - Test and Evaluation (TE5): critical test capabilities, planning, and infrastructure improvements/modifications necessary to evaluate CBRN Defense systems in realistic operating environments. The projects in this PE support the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the DoD acquisition system and are therefore correctly placed in Budget Activity 5.
