DECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS (ACD&P)
Abstract
This ACD&P project supports the development of Contamination Mitigation (ConMit) systems utilizing solutions that will remove and/or detoxify contaminated material without damaging combat equipment, personnel, or the environment. ConMit 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 FY14. The DFoS program facilitates the rapid transition of mature Science and Technology (S&T) research efforts to existing Decontamination or ConMit 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 (MDD) (3QFY11) directed Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), DFoS will develop a Family of Systems that includes equipment to improve decontamination processes and decontaminant solutions to meet the capability gaps for decontaminating Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) and Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents (CBWA) from personnel, equipment, vehicle interiors/exteriors, terrain, and fixed facilities. DFoS has five initial efforts established to address some of the requirements of the ConMit ICD: the Joint Sensitive Equipment Wipe (JSEW), the General Purpose Decontaminant (GPD), the Contamination Indicator Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS), Coatings, and Dial-A-Decon. JSEW 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. In addition, the JSEW program will investigate the potential for NTA compatibility of JSEW prototypes. GPD 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 traditional and non-traditional CB contamination. CIDAS will provide a contamination indicator/decontamination assurance technology and an applicator for use on tactical vehicles, shipboard surfaces, and crew-served and individual weapons in hostile and non-hostile environments that have been exposed to traditional and non-traditional chemical contamination. The Coatings effort will provide one or more of the following types of coatings: barrier coatings, strippable coatings, reactive coatings, and sealants, for use on tactical vehicles, shipboard surfaces, and crew-served and individual weapons in hostile and non-hostile environments that may be exposed to CB contamination. The Dial-A-Decon effort will provide an adjustable decontamination formulation/mixing system that is generated for point-of-use based on user input of agent threat, actual field conditions, and type of water available. Dial-A-Decon decontaminants will provide 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 CB contamination. Additionally, the DFoS Program funded the Contaminated Human Remains Pouch (CHRP) effort in FY12. The CHRP is a recovery and containment system which will protect personnel from the hazards associated with handling human remains that are potentially contaminated with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) agents and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIM) without posing additional risk to the handlers or the environment. 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 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.
