Collective Protection (SDD)

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. CP systems provide spaces safe from the effects of CBR contamination enabling mission accomplishment in CBR environments. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP) Family of Systems The Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP) program provides the Joint Expeditionary Forces a collective protection capability that 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 that provide existing host platforms and structures with Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) protection. Phase 2 includes kits that 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 will reduce the need for personnel and equipment decontamination and is a strategic deterrence against state adversaries and non-state actors from using weapons of mass destruction. FY22 is the last year of BA5 funding for this program.
