DECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS (SDD)

Abstract

This project provides Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for: (1) Contaminated Human Remains Decontamination (CHRP); (2) the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS); (3) Joint Platform Interior Decontamination (JPID); and (4) the Joint Service Sensitive Equipment Decontamination (JSSED) programs. The Contaminated Human Remains Pouch (CHRP) effort will provide the capability to protect personnel handling and processing human remains contaminated with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, or Nuclear (CBRN) contamination. The CHRP will fulfill gaps as described in the Mortuary Affairs (MA) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) for safe intra-theater handling and transport of contaminated human remains (CHR). The CHRP will provide protection by containing contaminated human remains (CHR) during recovery and transport from the point of fatality to the Mortuary Affairs (MA) Activity. The CHRP will contain fluid and vapor CBRN hazards associated with the CHR to reduce the spread of contamination and reduce the hazard to personnel handling the CHR. Successful development and procurement of the CHRP will provide Warfighters with the capability to safely handle, transport, and temporarily store or inter CHR in a theater of operations. 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 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. 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. 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.
