COLLECTIVE PROTECTION (OP SYS DEV)
Abstract
This project provides for technology upgrade and refresh of fielded Collective Protection (CP) equipment and 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. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Modernization Protection (MODPROT) (2) Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP) MODPROT CP provides upgrades, improvements and modernizations to fielded Collective Protection Systems such as the Chemical and Biological Protective Shelter, Shipboard Collective Protection Systems, Fixed Site Collective Protection Systems, M20A1 Simplified Collective Protection Equipment, Modular Collective Protection Equipment systems, and Collectively Protected Field Hospitals. Funding increases the Collective Protection System Backfit program M98 filter set life extension, and identifies and tests replacements for obsolete M93 Gas Particulate Filter Unit (GPFU) components used in numerous hard shelter systems. The M93 GPFU improvements also address current electromagnetic interference requirements. MODPROT CP also addresses obsolescence issues in test quality standards for gas filters and tests sealants and coatings to mitigate corrosion on filter systems to extend service life of these systems. JECP provides the Joint Expeditionary Forces a CP capability which is lightweight, compact, modular, and affordable. A family of systems, developed in two phases, that will allow the application of CP to transportable soft-side shelters, enclosed spaces of opportunity, and in remote austere locations as a standalone resource. Phase 1 includes standalone CP systems and kits to provide existing host platforms and structures with CBRN protection. Phase 2 includes kits to provide other host platforms and structures that were not explicitly designed in Phase 1. JECP will be capable of protecting personnel groups of varying size, unencumbered by Individual Protective Equipment (IPE), from the effects of CB agents, Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs), radiological particles, heat, dust, and sand. The employment of JECP is a strategic deterrence against enemy use of CBR agents or TIMs, and will reduce the need for personnel and equipment decontamination. Funding will develop a field leakage test capability that allows Warfighters to validate the integrity of JECP and other fielded collective protection systems, integrate newly developed filtration material into existing M98 Gas Particulate Filter Sets to provide the Warfighter with improved protection against toxic industrial chemicals and toxic industrial materials while maintaining current performance characteristics against Chemical Warfare Agents and meeting military standards, develop a CP kit for non-CP environmental control units and improve on the current tent liner restraint systems.
