CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (RDT&E MGT SUPPORT)

Abstract

This Budget Activity includes research, development, testing and evaluation management support for the Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) and includes the CBDP Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. Program Element 0605384BP supports Joint Doctrine and Training (Project DT6), sustains the technical test capability at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) (Project DW6); sustains the core Department of Defense (DoD) Science and Technology (S&T) laboratory infrastructure (Project LS6), provides for program management and financial management support (Project MS6), and supports the Joint Concept Development and Experimentation (JCDE) program (Project O49). The Joint Training and Doctrine Support (DT6) project funds development of Joint Doctrine and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for developing CB defense systems. This project also funds CB modeling and simulation to support the Warfighter. The Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) is a set of test installations, facilities, and ranges which are regarded as "national assets." These assets are sized, operated, and maintained primarily for DoD test and evaluation missions. However, the MRTFB facilities and ranges are also available to commercial and other users on a reimbursable basis. Dugway Proving Ground is designated as the primary element of the MRTFB to primarily conduct CB Defense test and evaluation. The DW6 Project provides operating funds to Dugway Proving Ground in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2003 (P/L/ 107-314 - sect 232) to ensure that DOD test customers are only charged direct costs of testing and that overhead expenses are centrally funded. It finances the required institutional test operating costs. Institutional test operating costs include institutional civilian and contractor labor; repair and maintenance of test instrumentation, equipment, and facilities; and replacement of test equipment. The Laboratory Support (LS6) project funds laboratory infrastructure to maintain and enhance DoD infrastructure capabilities to counter an expanding threat space, exploit advances in technology and develop and transition CB defense equipment and countermeasures to the Warfighter. The management support (MS6) project, provides management support for the DoD CBDP to allow program overview and integration of overall medical and non-medical programs by the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs (ATSD(NCB)), through the Special Assistant, Chemical Biological Defense and Chemical Demilitarization Programs (SA(CBD&CDP)); execution management by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA); integration of Joint requirements, management of training and doctrine by the Joint Requirements Office (JRO); Joint RDA planning, input to the Annual Report to Congress and Program Objective Memorandum (POM) development by the Program Analysis and Integration Office (PA&IO); review of Joint plans and the consolidated CB Defense POM Strategy by Army in its Executive Agent role. The management support project also funds the Joint Test Infrastructure Working Group (JTIWG) program to execute the Test and Evaluation (T&E) Executive mission to establish test infrastructure investment strategy and adequate testing for Developmental Testing (DT) and Operational Testing (OT) of Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical Biological Defense (CBD) systems and components throughout the systems' acquisition life cycle, as required in the RDA Plan. The JTIWG program funds T&E Early Involvement, test threat planning, and T&E Standards planning and development to support testing the CBD systems for all services. The Joint Concept Development and Experimentation (O49) project funds the planning, conduct, evaluation, and reporting on Joint tests (for other than developmental hardware) and accomplishment of operational research assessments in response to requirements received from the Services and the Combatant Commanders for already fielded equipment and systems. This Budget Activity also funds Program Element 0605502BP, which supports the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The overall objective of the Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) SBIR program is to improve the transition or transfer of innovative CBD technologies between DoD components and the private sector for mutual benefit. The CBD program includes those technology efforts that maximize a strong defensive posture in a CB environment using passive and active means as deterrents. These technologies include CB detection; information assessment (identification, modeling, and intelligence); contamination avoidance; and protection of both individual soldiers and equipment.
