CONTAMINATION AVOIDANCE (EMD)
Abstract
This project supports System Development and Demonstration and Low Rate Initial Production (SDD/LRIP) of an array of reconnaissance, detection and identification equipment, and warning systems. Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS); (2) Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS); (3) Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD); (4) Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Defense Support; (5) Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Detection Support, and (6) the Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiatives (GBTI). The CBRN Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS) consists of portable, commercial and government off-the-shelf equipment which provides personnel protection from current and emerging CBRN hazards through detection, identification, sample collection, decontamination, marking, and hazard reporting for CBRN threats. The system supports Dismounted Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and CBRN Site Assessment missions which enable more detailed and near real-time CBRN information flow to the Warfighter. The program will address emerging CBRN threat requirements in order to provide an enhanced capability for the future. The Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS) program will develop, integrate, test, and produce the first lightweight, 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, providing near real-time local audio and visual alarm, may be employed by any Military User. JBTDS components will be man-portable, battery-operable, and easy to employ. JBTDS will develop a tactical common identifier using technology from the Next Generation Detection System. JBTDS will provide notification of a hazard and enhance 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 to support time sensitive force protection decisions. The Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) is several detection systems for multi phase of matter sampling, location of liquid and solids on surfaces, and vapor and aerosol monitoring. 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 NTA/CWA/TIC selectivity and sensitivity on multiple platforms as well as multiple environments. There are four capability areas. of which three; Air Monitor, Surface Survey and Multi-sample Analysis were awarded contracts in the Technical Maturation and Risk Reduction Phase. The fourth capability - personal chemical detection is still in technology development, These sensors will improve detection, consequence management and reconnaissance, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) interdiction capabilities. The scope of the project includes detection of agent a few feet away from the detector as well as the sampling point of the detector. The Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Defense program supports the on-going chemical and biological (CB) defense efforts as acquisition programs address emerging threat requirements across the full spectrum of commodities. Dedicated initiatives and projects 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 CB threats. The program will develop a balanced portfolio which will target capabilities to reduce risk from technology gaps inherent from emerging threats. Additional efforts in conducting systems engineering analysis will occur in order to identify and consolidate capability knowledge gaps and prioritize required investments. The Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Detect project will identify, evaluate and continue to transition advanced detection and identification system(s) through follow-on technology insertion efforts which enhance the Domestic Response Capability (DRC), CBRN DRS (Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits), and Next Generation Chemical Detector programs. These efforts will ensure that specialized units will maintain situational awareness and have the ability to respond to emerging threats. The systems provide a mid-term capability to detect emerging threat materials and afford the Warfighter the ability to support domestic response and force protection missions. These systems will leverage common core technologies to detect and identify threats that can be exploited for lab deployable, fixed site and handheld applications. The Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiatives (GBTI) will develop a globally-distributed, fully integrated and networked, state-of-the-art analytical capability for biological threats that will enable the compression of the discovery-to-decision timeframe and provide awareness and understanding of the baseline biological threat footprint.
