CONTAMINATION AVOIDANCE OPERATIONAL SYS DEV (OP SYS DEV)
Abstract
The project supports technology upgrade and refresh of fielded dismounted reconnaissance and detection systems that minimize chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) contamination and prevent further cross-contamination during operations. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) Solid Liquid Adapter (SLA) (2) CBRN Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS) The JCAD SLA kit effort continues the development of the JCAD Chemical Explosive Detector (CED), which was an NGCD acceleration effort for USSOCOM. The SLA interfaces with the fielded M4A1 JCAD to allow for solid liquid sampling of surfaces. The SLA kit provides an interim point solution to detect Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs) and Pharmaceutical Based Agents (PBAs) off surfaces as the since the Proximate Chemical Agent Detector (PCAD) program is delayed due to immature non- contact technology. In FY20, JCAD will continue the JCAD SLA Contract to verify production readiness for testing. The 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 and emerging threats. This project provides the technology upgrade and refresh effort for the Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS) to address and mitigate technology/equipment obsolescence. Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs. This project provides the technology upgrade and refresh effort for the CBRN DRS supports Dismounted Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and CBRN Sensitive Site Assessment missions which enables more detailed and near real-time CBRN information flow for the Warfighter. In FY20 funding will be used to assess, test, and integrate updated capabilities identified in prior efforts focusing on protective ensembles.
