DECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS (ACD&P)
Abstract
This ACD&P project supports the development of contamination mitigation systems utilizing solutions that will remove and/or detoxify contaminated material without damaging combat equipment, personnel, or the environment. Contamination mitigation systems provide a force restoration capability for units that become contaminated. Development efforts will provide systems that reduce operational impact and logistics burden, reduce sustainment costs, increase safety, and minimize environmental effects associated with decontamination and contamination mitigation operations. This funding supports the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) in FY13. The Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) program facilitates the rapid transition of mature Science and Technology (S&T) research developments to existing Decontamination or Contamination Mitigation Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) Programs of Record and guides S&T community efforts toward meeting the needs of the Warfighter. Leveraging the outcome of the Materiel Development Decision (3QFY11) directed Analysis of Alternatives, DFoS will develop a Family of Systems, to include equipment, to improve decontamination processes, and decontaminant solutions to meet the capability gaps for decontaminating NTA and chemical and biological warfare agents from personnel, equipment, vehicle interiors/exteriors, terrain, and fixed facilities. DFoS has three initial efforts established to address some of the requirements of the Contamination Mitigation ICD: the Joint Sensitive Equipment Wipe (JSEW), the General Purpose Decontaminant (GPD) and the Contamination Indication/Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS) programs. The JSEW effort will provide immediate/operational decontamination capabilities for sensitive equipment in hostile and non-hostile environments that have been exposed to chemical agents/contamination. The JSEW will decrease the level of gross chemical agent contamination from 10 g/m2 to less than or equal to 1 g/m2 in support of thorough decontamination on sensitive equipment. The GPD effort will provide thorough decontamination capabilities for tactical vehicles, shipboard surfaces, crew-served weapons, and individual/personal weapons in hostile and non-hostile environments that have been exposed to chemical and biological (CB) agents/contamination. In addition, the GPD program should also provide an immediate/operational decontamination capability for aircraft exterior against chemical contamination. The CIDAS effort will provide a contamination indication/decontamination assurance technology and an applicator for use on tactical vehicles, shipboard surfaces, crew-served and individual weapons in hostile and non-hostile environments that have been exposed to chemical contamination. Additionally, the DFoS Program funds the Contaminated Human Remains Pouch (CHRP) effort in FY12 which will provide a capability to protect personnel handling and processing human remains contaminated with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, or Nuclear contamination. CHRP transitions to its own funding line in FY13. The Joint Platform Interior Decontamination (JPID) program will provide decontamination capabilities for interiors of vehicles, ships, fixed site facilities, mobile maintenance facilities, aircraft and sensitive equipment inherent to the platform during air, ground and sea operations in hostile and non-hostile environments that have been exposed to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents/contamination. To accommodate the array of Service mission sets, the potential for varying system and/or technology configurations may be required. The JPID Preferred System Concept (PSC) may consist of multiple solution sets that provide increments of capability or one solution to address the various platforms and threats identified under the program. No funding beyond FY12.
