HazMatID (trademark) Replacement Project

Abstract

HQ ACC/SGXH requested the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) to perform developmental testing and analysis to identify a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for replacement of the current HazMatIDTM on the 886H allowance standard. The Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE) consultant branch (USAFSAM/OEC) collaborated with members from the BE education and training branch (USAFSAM/OED), Proficiency Analytical Testing program (USAFSAM/OET), and the Pilot Unit from Shaw AFB to determine the best replacement for the HazMatIDTM. Representatives from the Pilot Unit were specifically recommended for inclusion in the selection process by HQ ACC/SGXH to ensure the recommended COTS solution meets user criteria, i.e., ease of operation while wearing personal protective equipment, dependability, and durability in the field. HQ ACC/SGXH will purchase half of the required equipment sets in FY2013, with the remainder purchased in FY2014. Vendors from three different companies presented their equipment to the group for evaluation on 10-12 December 2012.
