CONTAMINATION AVOIDANCE (EMD)
Abstract
This project supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development and Low Rate Initial Production (EMD/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) Enhanced Maritime Biological Detection (EMBD); (2) Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS); (3) Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD); (4) Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Defense Support; and (5) the Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiatives (GBTI). The Enhanced Maritime Biological Detection (EMBD) program as a FY17 new start will transition a technology from the Assessment of Environmental Detection (AED) leg of the Joint USFK Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition (JUPITR) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) to a program of record for the US Navy (USN). The EMBD will address Navy detection and identification capability gaps and replace the 135 Joint Biological Point Detection Systems (JBPDS) currently fielded to the Navy. The EMBD program will complete development and testing, integration and production of a lower cost biological point detection system that will detect, collect and identify biological warfare agent aerosols. The EMBD will provide automated warning and provide a reduced sustainment cost while protecting the shipboard personnel. 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 Diagnostic System. Identifier testing will take place during EMD to evaluate technologies against requirements and find the best solution(s) for the warfighter. 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 JBTDS will develop lightweight, handheld identifiers specifically designed for environmental identification missions conducted by Special Purpose Units (SPU) for the screening and confirmation of unknown sample in the field. JBTDS will initiate engineering and redesign studies to support the integration of components unto Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV). 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; NGCD 1, NGCD 2 and NGCD 3 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 chemical 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 develop and transition information, technologies, and capabilities into acquisition options and efforts (e.g. Programs of Record, Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATD), and Accelerated Acquisition) that account for the breadth and depth of advanced, emerging, and unknown CB threats and span the full range of defense missions. 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 advanced, emerging, and unknown CB threats. The program will support a balanced portfolio which will target capabilities to reduce operational and tactical 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 Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiatives (GBTI) is developing 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. For the first time, capabilities such as advanced characterization and genomic sequencing are being located in forward locations, bringing faster pathogen detection, improved multiplex assays and medical countermeasures to the Warfighter.
