COLLECTIVE PROTECTION (OP SYS DEV)

Abstract

The efforts funded by this appropriation will improve fielded chemical and biological protection capabilities for Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP). In FY17-18, this funding will develop a leakage test capability that will allow the Warfighter to validate the integrity of collective protection / Filtration systems. In FY17-19, this funding will also integrate newly developed filtration material into existing M98 filter sets. These new filters will provide the Warfighter with improved protection against toxic industrial chemicals and toxic industrial materials while maintaining performance characteristics against Chemical Warfare Agents and meeting military standards. Additionally, these improvements can serve a dual purpose by providing improvements to other Collective Protection Systems such as the Chemical and Biological Protective Shelter, Shipboard Collective Protection Systems, Fixed Site Collective Protection Systems, M20A1 Simplified Collective Protection Equipment, and the Collectively Protected Field Hospitals.
