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) Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP) (2) Modernization Protection (MODPROT), and (3) Modernization Protection Collective Protection (MODPROT CP) JECP provides the Joint Forces a CP capability which is lightweight, compact, modular, and affordable. Modernization and improvement efforts addressed include development of a field leakage test capability that allows Warfighters to validate the integrity of JECP and other fielded CP systems; integration of a newly developed filtration material into existing M98 Gas Particulate Filter Sets to provide the Warfighter with improved protection against Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs), while maintaining current performance characteristics against Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and meeting military standards; development of a CP kit for non-CP Environmental Control Units (ECUs) and improvement on the current tent liner restraint systems. The JECP BA7 program transitions to the MODPROT CP BA7 program in FY21. MODPROT will be split into three programs in FY21 to fund three separate Modernization Efforts: Modernization Protection Collective Protection (MODPROT CP), Modernization Protection Decontamination (MODPROT DE), and Modernization Protection Individual Protection (MODPROT IP). MODPROT CP incorporates a value engineering approach to address the need to reduce logistics cost and solve obsolescence issues to the DoD /Joint Services fielded CBR protection portfolio for mobile, transportable, fixed facility and shipboard CP systems. MODPROT CP provides for upgrades, improvements and modernizations of fielded CP Systems such as Mobile ColPro Systems, Fixed Site ColPro Systems, Transportable ColPro Systems, Modular CP Equipment Systems, and Collectively Protected Field Hospitals (CPFH). 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. In FY22, MODPROT CP completes Non-Destructive Production Acceptance Leak Test improvements, continues redesign of M49 gas filters, continues M48A1 Filter Redesign, continues developing ColPro training upgrades, and continues Collective Protection Modernization for Ships and Buildings and conduct system scale lab testing.
