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 Nuclear Biological Chemical Radiological System (JNBCRS) (3)The Joint Handheld Bio-Agent Identifier (JHBI); (4) Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS); (5) Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD); (6) Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Defense Support, (7) the Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiatives (GBTI); and (7) 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 system will provide improved detection sensitivity, lower false alarms and a modernized computing architecture. 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. Joint Nuclear Biological Chemical Radiological System (JNBCRS) is the sensor suite upgrade to the Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV). The NBCRV Sensor Suite (NBCRV SS) is the Mission Equipment Package for the Stryker NBCRV and consists of chemical point detectors, a standoff chemical vapor detector, a biological point detector, a chemical vapor sampling system, point radiological detector, a standoff radiological detector, and a Sensor Processing Group. The NBCRV SS provides the Stryker NBCRV the ability to detect, identify, collect, report, and mark, Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) Hazards. The NBCRV Sensor Suite Upgrade will improve chemical, biological and nuclear detection and identification capabilities, increase the maneuver speed of the NBCRV when conducting NBC missions, and reduce sustainment costs over the current system. The Joint Handheld Bio-Agent Identifier (JHBI) program is a Joint Service Acquisition Category (ACAT) III program consisting of two increments to address an existing United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) requirement for handheld, multiplexed, environmental, bio-agent identification. The JHBI program was initiated under the Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS) and will provide three different handheld bio-identification systems for the rapid and accurate identification of organisms at the point of contact for multiple mission types. The proposed JHBI systems will be handheld, Polymerase Chain Reaction-based, multiplexed devices for the analysis of powder or liquid environmental biological samples. JHBI capabilities will provide Special Operations Forces with timely and accurate identification of 8 or more bio-agents at the point of need. JHBI Increment 1 is anticipated to serve as a supplemental capability to the BioFire RAZOR with Increment 2 fielding the complete replacement of the RAZOR by FY20. 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 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 provide 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 into Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV). The Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) is several detection systems for vapor and aerosol monitoring (NGCD 1), location of liquid and solids on surfaces (NGCD 2), and sampling multiple phases of matter (NGCD 3). 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. 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 at the sampling point of the detector. Additional tasks will ruggedize and test a system for nontraditional agent detection for special purpose units. 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, Enhanced Capability Demonstrations, 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. These initiatives allow the CBDP to mitigate risk against emerging threats and better prepare the warfighter to deal with technological surprise across the full range of military missions. The Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiative (GBTI) will research and characterize laboratory networks and develop algorithms to identify key nodes, having the greatest potential to compress the time between disease event initiation and the production of actionable data. Key node data generation will be augmented in direct support of existing programs of record such as the Common Analytical Laboratory System (CALS).
