Abstract
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 and fielded independently by the services with the intent of meeting a specific unit requirement. As a result, multiple mobile lab configurations exist with differing sustainment tails and lacking in commonality. The CALS will provide common analytical capabilities packaged to meet the specific CONOPS and mission of the gaining unit. The analytical capabilities will 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, the Marine Corps, and the Navy. There are three variants of CALS: Field Confirmatory Integrated System (FC-IS) - NGB and Marine Corp -Integrates CBR systems into a common make / model 20-foot International Standard Organization (ISO) container. The container will be integrated onto the International Durastar vehicle to support employment. Theater Validation Integrated System (TV-IS) - Army -Similar to the FC-IS but provides a higher level of confidence in analytical results through the use of orthogonal (complimentary) technologies and an expanded analytical suite. This system employs multiple standardized ISO containers, which will be integrated onto two Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) and one trailer, to support the needed additional laboratory space. Field Confirmatory Analytical Capability Sets (FC-ACS) - All Services including NGB -A palletized / transportable equipment subsets that allows them to be loaded into transport cases and palletized. Enables the users to receive the Chemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) subsystems that meet their specific mission profiles.
