COLLECTIVE PROTECTION (EMD)
Abstract
This project supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development and Low Rate Initial Production 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. The systems included in this project are: (1) Chemical-Biological Aircraft Survivability Barrier (CASB) (2) Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP) Family of Systems, to include Collective Protection Filters a Congressional add. The CASB will provide a lightweight, low-cost, expendable, negative-pressure enclosure that will protect the interior of multi-service aircraft (MH-47, CV22, MC-130) capable of airlifting/exfiltrating chemically or biologically contaminated personnel, equipment, and cargos while preserving the aircraft for continued unrestricted operations without need for extensive decontamination. CASB will field a capability that will support the overall intent of the (Aircraft CBRN Contamination Survivability ACCS) Initial Capabilities Development (ICD) in the areas of barriers, aircraft containment systems, modular Collective Protection (ColPro) for aircraft interiors, and disposable ColPro. CASB is one member of a family of systems that will support the ICD. It will protect the interior of DoD airlift assets (MH-47, CV-22, and MC-130s) from incidental cross-contamination by CB-contaminated personnel and equipment and cargos under transport. JECP provides the Joint Expeditionary Forces a CP capability which is lightweight, compact, modular, and affordable. JECP is a family of systems, developed in two phases, 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. Phase 1 includes standalone CP systems and kits to provide existing host platforms and structures with CBRN protection. Phase 2 includes kits to provide CBRN protection to other host platforms and structures that were not explicitly designed in Phase 1. 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. Congressional Interest Item -The Collective Protection Filters for Gas-Phase Contaminants project will develop and test innovative filters which do not require any adjustments to an existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit to provide a level of chemical protection. The development of a prototype filter will be used in retrofitting buildings to enhance protection capabilities while reducing the installation costs. The Mobile Platform Collective Protection Filter Design Modernization project will develop and test a new filter system design that will reduce the number of filters in the mobile collective protection portfolio from 4 to 1, provide a universal air handling system for all mobile platforms, and use modern materials and manufacturing techniques to update 1950s era designs.
