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. Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs. Individual efforts are: (1) Biosurveillance (BSV), (2) Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD); (3) Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Defense: and Test Equipment, Strategy and Support (TESS) focuses on Test Infrastructure improvements and initiatives. Biosurveillance (BSV) actively gathers, analyzes, and interprets collected information that includes biosphere data that relate to disease activity and threats to human or animal health in order to achieve early warning of health threats, early detection of health events, and overall situational awareness of disease activity. BSV will align the biosurveillance efforts across DoD and national strategies. BSV will scope and influence BSV capabilities as products to meet Warfighter requirements through innovative management of key BSV initiatives. BSV requirements address medical and physical CBRN mission needs spanned in over 11 requirements documents and through Combatant Commander (COCOM) identified needs. BSV funds will support Joint US Forces Korea (USFK) Portal and Integrated Threat recognition (JUPITR) ATD/BSV ATD which will find, demonstrate, transition, and transfer the best operational concepts and technology solutions in support of a holistic approach to countering biological threats from the laboratory to operational use and theater confirmation of a Biological Event. JUPITR ATD will consist of four legs; Early Warning (EW), Biological Identification Capabilities Sets (BICS), Assessment of Environmental Detectors (AED), and Biosurveillance Portal (BSP). The JUPITR ATD will provide the USFK with a holistic biosurveillance capability to provide early warning, detection, collection, identification, and theater confirmation of a Biological event. The JUPITR ATD consists of filling capability gaps through information sharing and communication systems and detection/diagnostic systems for the USFK. Outputs will focus on proving component, CONOPS, and subsystem transition into relevant technologies that are currently programs of record (PORs) NGDS, TDS and CALS. Systems used in Operational Demonstration will be left behind with a two year sustainment plan for continuing use. Whole system live agent test (WSLAT) of AED units will support JPM NBC CA business case analysis for maritime and fixed site Point Biological Detection. The Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) consists of several detection systems. The systems will address sampling of multiple phases of matter; locating liquids and solids on surfaces; and vapor and aerosol monitoring. NGCD will detect and identify non-traditional agents, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), and 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. These detectors will improve detection, consequence management, reconnaissance, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) interdiction capabilities. The NGCD focuses on developing three detection systems; the NGCD variant 1 - Detector Alarm, the NGCD variant 2 - Survey Detector, and the NGCD variant 3 - Sample Analyzer detectors simultaneously during the TMRR Phase. The NGCD variant 1 will provide Joint Warfighters with a capability to detect and identify Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs), Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) in aerosol and vapor forms. The NGCD variant 2 will provide Joint Warfighters with a capability to detect and identify liquid and solid CWAs, NTAs, and TICs on surfaces. The NGCD variant 3 will provide Joint Warfighters with a capability to collect NTA, CWA, and TIC chemical samples for all states of matter, identify, and quantify the chemical agent of interest in support of reconnaissance, surveillance, site assessment, and decontamination to check and confirm clean. The Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Defense program supports the chemical and biological (CB) defense efforts as acquisition programs address emerging threat requirements across the full spectrum of commodities. Dedicated systems engineering analyses to identify projects that will transition information, technologies, and capabilities into acquisition programs that account for the breadth and depth of emerging threats which span the full range of military missions. By leveraging previous work done on NTAs (NTA DETECT) within the DoD, interagency cooperation, and international partnerships, the NTA Defense program will provide essential enablers such as threat understanding; operational impacts of performance trades; and comprehensive, integrated, and layered defense concepts against current NTA threats. The program will develop a balanced portfolio which will target capabilities to reduce risk from technology gaps inherent from emerging threats.
