DECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS (SDD)

Abstract

This project funds Engineering, and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for: (1) Decontamination Competitive Prototype; (2) the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS); (3) Joint Platform Interior Decon (JPID); and (4) the Joint Service Sensitive Equipment Decontamination (JSSED). The Decontamination Competitive Prototype (DC PROTO) effort will support the JPID program of record in evaluating prototype systems that will demonstrate the best decontamination technology to increase sensitive equipment and platform interior decontamination capabilities and the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) interior/exterior decontamination requirement. DC PROTO will support the development of the JPID MS A activities and the release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) to support the JPID source selection and competitive prototyping efforts. The Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) program facilitates the rapid transition of mature Science and Technology (S&T) research developments to existing Decontamination and Major Acquisition Defense Program (MDAP) Programs of Record and guides S&T community efforts toward meeting the needs of the Warfighter. Leveraging the outcomes of the Materiel Development Decision (MDD) (2QFY11) directed Analysis of Alternatives, DFoS will develop a Family of Systems, including end items/consumables which will 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. The Joint Platform Interior Decontamination (JPID) program will provide immediate, operational and thorough decontamination capabilities for interiors of vehicles, ships, fixed site facilities, mobile maintenance facilities, aircraft and sensitive equipment during ground/shipboard 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. The Joint Service Sensitive Equipment Decontamination System (JSSED) program provides a thorough decontamination capability against chemical and biological warfare agents for high value or critical sensitive equipment that cannot be decontaminated using existing methods without damage. JSSED efforts will be addressed under the JPID program of record from FY11 forward.
