COLLECTIVE PROTECTION (SDD)

Abstract

Funding supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development and Low Rate Initial Production (EMD/LRIP) of Joint Service Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) Collective Protection (CP) systems that are smaller, lighter, less costly to produce and maintain, and more logistically supportable enabling mission accomplishment in CBR environments. CP systems can be installed on any type of platform, such as, hard and soft shelters, vehicles, ships, aircraft, and buildings. CP systems provide spaces safe from the effects of CBR contamination. The system included in this project is the Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP). JECP provides the Joint Expeditionary Forces a CP capability which is lightweight, compact, modular, and affordable. A family of systems is planned that will allow the application of CP to transportable soft-side shelters, enclosed spaces of opportunity, and in remote austere locations as a standalone resource. JECP will be capable of protecting personnel groups of varying size, unencumbered by Individual Protective Equipment (IPE), from the effects of CB agents, Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs), radiological particles, heat, dust, and sand. The employment of JECP is a strategic deterrence against enemy use of CBR agents or TIMs, and will reduce the need for personnel and equipment decontamination.
