Contamination Avoidance (Op Sys Dev)
Abstract
The Project supports technology upgrade and refresh of fielded dismounted reconnaissance and detection systems that minimize chemical, biological, and 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. In FY2023, the CBDP RDT&E Projects have been restructured to align to the CBDP portfolio. CA7 efforts in FY2022 progress to the Understand (UN7) portfolio. This restructuring is intended to provide standardization and alignment across CBDP research, development and acquisition efforts. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Dismounted Reconnaissance Systems (CBRN DRS), (2) Expeditionary Analytic Modernization (EXANA MOD), (3) Modernization Sensors (MOD SEN) **Progresses to UN7 in FY2023**, (4) Enhanced Maritime Biological Detection (EMBD) **Progresses to UN7 in FY2023**, and (5) Reactive Chemistry Orthogonal Surface and Environmental Threat Ticket Array (ROSETTA) **Progresses to UN7 in FY2023** The CBRN DRS program effort provides the technology upgrade and refresh for the CBRN DRS system supporting dismounted reconnaissance, CBRN sensitive site assessment, and CBRN sensitive site exploitation missions, which enables more detailed and near real-time CBRN information flow for the Warfighter. The program will be moved into the MOD SEN program starting in FY22. The EXANA MOD effort supports the evaluation of analytical components for technical refreshment and upgrades of key components of the analytical laboratory systems that have become obsolete or are no longer being supported by the manufacturer. This allows the Common Analytical Laboratory System (CALS) and Analytical Laboratory System Modification (ALS MOD) users to maintain their operational capability and operational effectiveness. In FY22, the program will be moved into the MOD SEN funding line. The MOD SEN program will address obsolescence of critical equipment and functionality issues for the Services by establishing a modernization plan to integrate and incorporate advancements in technology for the ALS MOD, CALS Field Confirmatory Analytical Capability Set (FC ACS), CALS Theater Validation Integrated System (TV IS) and CBRN DRS. This program is renamed from EXANA MOD in FY22 and consolidates efforts previously included in EXANA MOD and CBRN DRS program efforts. In FY22 & FY23 MOD SEN supports the evaluation of components for technical refreshment of the CBRN DRS, CALS and ALS MOD. The EMBD program will undertake engineering efforts to combat Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and maintain a stable production line. Specific efforts include a new External Controller Subsystem (ECS) in FY22 and flash memory in the Rapid Agent Aerosol Detector (RAAD) in FY23. EMBD also anticipates having to undertake a major software development effort to upgrade fielding systems as software updates occur. The ROSETTA is a modernization effort to provide the General Forces a low-cost, easy to use surface and/or vapor hazard detection ticket for a wide range of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and NTAs. These highly-selective, multiplexed array tickets will enable accurate hazard identification in the presence of common battlefield interferents at the tactical-level. ROSETTA is based on colorimetric technology and will be eye-readable and has potential for integration onto unmanned platforms especially micro-sized unmanned aerial sensors. In addition, the ROSETTA tickets will provide improved hazard detection performance with reduced false alarm rate, potential for increased number of chemicals detected, reduced detection time especially for compounds of interest (CWAs, PBAs, NTAs and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs)), and potential for integration onto unmanned platforms especially micro-sized unmanned aerial sensors. In FY23 ROSETTA will continue contract actions with down select of vendors for a Vapor Detector.
