HOMELAND DEFENSE (ACD&P)
Abstract
Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs. This Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) Project supports Component Advanced Development and System Integration (CAD/SI) for programs that provide a comprehensive, integrated and layered CBRN protection and response capability for military installations and specialized military consequence management units both at home and abroad. Particular emphasis is placed on improving military-civilian interoperability in CBRN detection and response capabilities; providing tiered levels of CBRN protection and response capabilities to military installations; and tailored modular and integrated Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to consequence management units. This program also supports the acquisition and delivery of an integrated chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) rapid response capability for National Guard Bureau's (NGB) Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST) and Special Purpose Units - Chemical Biological Equipment (SPU-CBE) which consists of the CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), the United States Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF) the United States Army Reserve (USARC) Chemical Recon Platoons, Decon Platoons, Defense Support of Civil Authority CBRN Response Force (DCRF), and the 20th Support Command Nuclear Disablement (NDT) and CBRNE Teams. Key activities of this program include ongoing life cycle assessments for the portfolio of fielded commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) CBRNE equipment, identification and evaluation of emerging technologies, prioritization and fielding of improved capabilities to meet established requirements, and the establishment of institutionalized training. The overall capability package includes hand held detection, protection, decontamination, situational awareness software assessment and sampling tools, The purpose of this program is to address legacy requirements gaps/deficiencies for WMD-CST's and SPU-CBE's where they exist through the streamlined acquisition of COTS/government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) capability upgrades that incorporate proven advancements in technology to satisfy mission performance standards.
