HOMELAND DEFENSE (EMD)
Abstract
Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs. This project supports a comprehensive, integrated and layered Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (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 COTS solutions to consequence management units. Included in this project are the following developmental efforts: The Common Analytical Laboratory System capability (CALS) will be modular, scalable and adaptable to a variety of concept of operations (CONOPS) and environmental conditions. Currently, fielded systems have been designed independently by various agencies with the intent of meeting a specific units requirements. As a result, multiple mobile lab configurations exist with differing sustainment tails and lacking in commonality. The analytical detection package fielded will be fitted to the specific mission and CONOPS of the gaining unit and be able to detect and identify Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) and Biological Warfare Agents (BWAs). Users of the system will include the National Guard Bureau Civil Support Teams, the Army 20th Support Command, the Army Medical Laboratory, the Air Force, and the Navy. The Special Purpose Unit - Chemical Biological Equipment (SPU CBE) program supports the evaluation and acquisition integrated chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) rapid response capabilities 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), United States Marine Corps Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), 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, United States Air Force BAT, BEE, PAM, and Navy FDPMU. 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.
