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) Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS); (2) Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Agent Water Monitor (JCBRAWM) Increment 2; (3) Joint Standoff Detection System (JSDS); (4) Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD); and (5) Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS) Increment 2. 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 Biological Radiological Agent Water Monitor (JCBRAWM) Increment 2 efforts will evaluate existing and emerging technologies to provide improvement to chemical detection in water to meet Tri-Service Drinking Water Standards and to detect emerging threats in water. The Joint Standoff Detection System (JSDS), a new start program, will provide near real-time detection of chemical and biological attacks/incidents at a standoff distance. The modular system will be tailorable to the Service and can be employed at Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD)/Sea Port of Debarkation (SPOD), Forward Operating Base (FOB), and on multiple platforms to include: fixed site, aerostat, and ground systems. The system will be networked to allow for cueing of point sensor arrays. Additionally, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) (as demonstrated in the WMD Aerial Collection System (WACS) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD))/Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) platforms could be integrated for sampling and identification. This schedule has been synchronized with the WACS ATD schedule to facilitate data exchange and possible excursions. The Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) will detect and identify non-traditional agents, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) in the air and on surfaces. The NGCD will provide improved CWA/TIC selectivity and sensitivity on multiple platforms as well as multiple environments. This sensor will improve detection, consequence management and reconnaissance, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) interdiction capabilities. The Joint Biological Standoff Detection (JBSDS) Increment 2 mission provided near real-time detection of biological attacks/incidents and standoff early detection/warning (Detect to Warn) of Biological Warfare Agents (BWAs) at fixed sites or in static mode on vehicles. This detect-to-warn capability allowed 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, of BWA aerosol clouds for advanced warning, reporting, and protection. The current JBSDS 1 systems was used for training to support JBSDS 2 concept of operations (CONOPs) development and could have been deployed upon receipt of an urgent need statement. JBSDS Increment 2 addressed the requirements beyond the JBSDS 1 interim system. Those key requirements were lower false alarm rate, day/night discrimination sensitivity, and a reduction in overall system size, weight, and power.
