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. In FY2023, the CBDP RDT&E Projects have been restructured to align to the CBDP portfolio. CO7 efforts in FY2022 progress to the Protect (PT7) portfolio. This restructuring is intended to provide standardization and alignment across CBDP research, development and acquisition efforts. The effort included in this Project is: (1) Modernization Protection Collective Protection (MODPROT CP) **Progresses to PT7 in FY2023** MODPROT CP incorporates a value engineering approach to address the need to reduce logistics cost and minimizes supply chain shortages by addressing obsolescence issues to the DoD /Joint Services fielded CBR protection portfolio for mobile, transportable, fixed facility and shipboard CP systems without the high cost of requiring a new program of record. The obsolescence of critical equipment, if not modernized, will continue to face significantly increased cost and long lead times making the equipment unaffordable and unprocurable to meet major weapon system program's requirements and schedules. MODPROT CP modernizes decades old collective protection equipment reducing costs, shortening lead times, and updating key components to extend service life and ensure affordable and procurable to warfighters.
