CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE (OP SYS DEV)

Abstract

The projects in this program element (PE) support efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production in order to maintain Joint Force readiness. Individual projects include: - Contamination Avoidance (CA7): technology refresh of fielded analytical laboratory system capabilities to conduct on-site analysis of any unknown sample and test potential life-threatening substances. - Homeland Defense (CM7): technology refresh of fielded analytical laboratory system capabilities to conduct on-site analysis of any unknown sample and test potential life-threatening substances. - Collective Protection (CO7): technology upgrade and refresh of fielded collective protection 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 chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) contamination. - Decontamination (DE7): technology refresh of fielded Contamination Mitigation (ConMit) systems that will remove and/or detoxify contaminated material without damaging combat equipment, personnel, or the environment. - Individual Protection (IP7): technology refresh of fielded individual protective equipment which enable the Joint Force to operate in a contaminated CBR environment with little or no degradation to performance. - Information Systems (IS7): technology refresh of fielded information systems that shape the battlespace against CBR threats. - Medical Biological Defense (MB7): technology refresh of fielded medical diagnostic systems and associated capabilities (e.g., assays) that contribute to the layered medical defenses against biological warfare agent threats facing U.S. Forces in the field. - Medical Chemical Defense (MC7): technology upgrade of fielded medical nerve agent treatment system that contribute to the layered medical defenses against chemical warfare agent threats facing U.S. Forces in the field. - Test and Evaluation (TE7): technology upgrades and revitalization of fielded test capabilities and infrastructure at Dugway Proving Ground necessary to evaluate CBRN Defense systems in realistic operating environments. The projects in this PE support operational systems development necessary to maintain operational effectiveness and are therefore correctly placed in Budget Activity 7.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding: FY19 (-$0.023 Million): Reprogramming adjustments to balance overall portfolio efforts. FY19 (-$1.904 Million) Transfer of funding to support Small Business Innovative Research/Small Business Technology Transfer efforts. FY20 (-$2.189 Million): Congressional Directed Reductions to the Analytical Laboratory System Modification, Modernization Protection Collective Protection, the Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System and the Software Support Activity programs. FY21 (-$6.469 Million): The FY21 funding request was reduced during the Defense-Wide Review (DWR) to account for programs being terminated or restructured (-$23.794 Million); Departmental economic adjustments (-$0.035 Million); and program increases to mitigate obsolescence on fielded systems and upgrade test and evaluation facilities (+$17.360 Million).
