Homeland Defense (Op Sys Dev)

Abstract

This project supports technology refresh of fielded analytical laboratory system capabilities which allows the conduct on-site analysis of any unknown sample and test potential life-threatening substances. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) Common Analytical Laboratory System (CALS) and Analytical Laboratory System Modification (ALS MOD), and (2) Weapons of Mass Destruction - Civil Support Team (WMD CST) The CALS/ALS MOD program supports the evaluation of analytical components for technical refreshment and upgrades of key components of the CALS and ALS MOD systems that have become obsolete, or are no longer being supported by the manufacturer. This allows the CALS and ALS MOD users to maintain their operational capability and operational effectiveness. The WMD CST program supports the fielded system upgrade and ongoing assessment and acquisition of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and Government off-the-shelf (GOTS) analytical detection, protection, decontamination and sampling equipment for survey in order to expand/enhance the operational capabilities of the (57) WMD CST Teams. Program efforts support upgrades of key components of the WMD CST Program that have become obsolete, or are no longer being supported by the manufacturer. In FY22 the WMD CST program continues system-related test activities, including costs of specially fabricated hardware to obtain or validate engineering data on the performance of the system.
