CONTAMINATION AVOIDANCE (ACD&P)
Abstract
This Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) Project supports Component Advanced Development and System Integration (CAD/SI) of reconnaissance, detection, identification, and hazard prediction equipment, hardware, and software. Individual efforts are: (1) Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS); (2) Joint Biological Standoff Detector System (JBSDS); (3) Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS); (4) Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD); (5) Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) Support; (6) Next Generation Chemical Point Detection (NGCPD); and (7) Next Generation Chemical Standoff Detection (NGCSD). The CBRN Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS) consists of portable, commercial and government off-the-shelf equipment to provide personnel protection from current and emerging CBRN hazards and detection, identification, sample collection, decontamination, marking, and hazard reporting of CBRN threats. The system supports dismounted Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and CBRN Site Assessment missions to enable more detailed CBRN information reports for commanders. The Joint Biological Standoff Detection (JBSDS) mission is to provide near real-time detection of biological attacks/incidents and standoff early detection/warning (Detect to Warn) of BWAs at fixed sites or in static mode on vehicles. This detect to warn capability will allow Commanders theater-wide initial early warning capability against BWA attacks. JBSDS 1 was the first standoff early warning biological detection system for the Joint Services. The system demonstrated the capability of providing standoff detection, ranging, tracking, discrimination (biological vs. non-biological), of BWA aerosol clouds for advanced warning, reporting and protection. The current JBSDS 1 systems will be used for training to support JBSDS 2 concept of operations (CONOPs) development and can be deployed upon receipt of an urgent need statement. JBSDS Increment 2 will address the requirements beyond the JBSDS 1 interim system. These key requirements are lower false alarm rate, day/night discrimination sensitivity, and a reduction in overall system size, weight, and power. The Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS) will integrate, test and produce the first lightweight (less than 37 lbs), low cost biological surveillance system that will detect, collect and identify biological warfare agent aerosols. JBTDS will provide warning through the Joint Warning And Reporting Network (JWARN) and archive sample for follow-on analyses. JBTDS will provide near real time local audio and visual alarm for use by any Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). JBTDS components will be man portable, battery operable and easy to employ. JBTDS will be used to provide notification of a hazard and enhanced battle space awareness to protect and preserve the force. When networked, JBTDS will augment existing biological detection systems to provide a theater-wide seamless array capable of biological detection, identification and warning. Units equipped with JBTDS will conduct biological surveillance missions to detect BWA aerosol clouds, collect a sample, and identify the agent to support time sensitive force protection decisions. The Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) efforts will evaluate current technologies focusing on capability gaps for emerging threats by performing testing and evaluation of existing fielded systems to characterize and optimize their capability to detect emerging threats. The Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) Support program will integrate System of Systems (SoS) solutions across the Armed Services for MDAPs having Chemical and Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) survivability requirements. The program will demonstrate modular, net-centric, "plug and play" capabilities for mounted and dismounted CBRN reconnaissance that will establish a common CBRN reconnaissance architecture across the services. This program does not continue beyond FY11. The Next Generation Chemical Point Detection (NGCPD), a new start program, will detect and identify non-traditional agents, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) in the air and on surfaces. The NGCPD will provide improved CWA/TIC selectivity and sensitivity on multiple platforms as well as multiple environments. This sensor will improve passive defense/detect capabilities, consequence management and reconnaissance, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) interdiction. The Next Generation Chemical Standoff Detection (NGCSD), a next generation chemical standoff effort that was initiated under the JSLSCAD program, will provide a technical assessment of the state of current standoff detection capabilities for both traditional and non-traditional chemical agent attacks at fixed sites, forward operating bases and on Service designated vehicles and ships. Evaluation of industry capabilities will support development of the future detection system. This program does not continue beyond FY11.
