Decontamination (SDD)
Abstract
This project supports the development of Contamination Mitigation (ConMit) systems utilizing solutions that remove and/or detoxify contaminated material without damaging combat equipment, personnel, or the environment, helping sustain a resilient force posture, one of the efforts outlined in the National Defense Strategy. 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. Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, Concept of Operations and Tactics, Techniques & Procedures. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) Contaminated Human Remains System (CHRS) (2) Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) Contamination Indicator Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS) (3) DFoS CIDAS Blister (4) Forward Area Mobility Spray - System (FAMS-S) (5) Joint Biological Agent Decontamination System (JBADS) (6) Joint Biological Agent Decontamination System Lite (JBADS Lite) (Congressional Interest Item) (7) Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP), and (8) Mass Personnel Decontamination (MPD) The CHRS program will provide a Contaminated Human Remains Transfer Case (CHRT) packaging solution to safely return chemical, biological, or radiological contaminated human remains to the Continental United States. The CHRT is a containment system that will protect personnel from the hazards associated with transporting human remains that are potentially contaminated with chemical, biological or radiological agents and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIM) without posing additional risk to the handlers or the environment in accordance with federal and international transportation standards. The CHRS program will address a capability gap identified within both the Contaminated Mitigation (ConMit) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), dated March 2011, and the Mortuary Affairs ICD, dated October 2008 Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) Contamination Indicator Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS) is a contamination indicator and decontamination assurance technology. The indicator will be sprayed on tactical vehicles, aircraft, ships, crew-served weapons, and individual weapons that may have been exposed to traditional and non- traditional chemical contamination. DFoS CIDAS is a new capability for the Joint Forces that will reduce the logistics burden of decontamination by indicating presence and location of traditional (Nerve and Blister) and non-traditional chemical agents on militarily relevant surfaces pre- and post-decontamination. This helps sustain a resilient force posture, making the Joint Force more adaptable against the uncertainty in a changing global strategic environment, an effort listed in the National Defense Strategy under building a more lethal force. It will consist of an indicator and an applicator, with three applicator configurations -- small-scale, tactical large scale, and reusable large scale applicators -- and three indicator formulations -- nerve training, nerve and blister indicators. Starting in FY21, the DFoS CIDAS program is being broken into separate CIDAS Nerve and CIDAS Blister programs as the capabilities are intended to fulfill distinct solutions to meet Warfighter needs. The CIDAS Nerve program will address the visual disclosure of traditional and non-traditional nerve agents while the CIDAS Blister program addresses traditional blister agents, two separate threat scenarios that require different materiel solutions, modernizing a key capability to help build a more lethal force, as outlined in the National Defense Strategy. In FY22 the DFoS CIDAS Blister program will complete Sustainment Cost Reduction efforts with Prime Contractor to reduce the sustainment unit cost, award contract option, and continue developmental testing (DT)/operational testing (OT) in support of Milestone (MS) C/FRP. FAMS-S will provide Special Operations Forces (SOF) and SOF Task Forces (SOTFs) a man-portable and mobile platform capable of rapidly decontaminating chemical and biological (CB) agents from the exterior of aircraft, helicopters, boats, vehicles, or support equipment to a level that is clean enough for re-use without the need for additional CB protective equipment. This will maximize tactical flexibility and fighting strength while minimizing the logistical burden and the cost of conducting Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) and CB operations. Up to three FAMS-S system variants are envisioned, to include a Man-Portable configuration that will provide the SOF tactical forces to advance decontamination technology to meet the operational tenants of decontamination. The Joint Biological Agent Decontamination System (JBADS) will provide the capability to conduct biological agent decontamination of the interior and exterior of aircraft. There is currently no capability to decontaminate both the inside and outside of aircraft. Additionally, this design incorporates a chemical liner for potential chemical agent decontamination ability. The JBADS capability set will include a decontamination delivery system using hot-humid air, shelter to encapsulate an airframe, an environmental control and monitoring system(s), and other ancillary components. It will provide the capability to decontaminate biologically contaminated airframes to safe levels, allow more rapid return to service and provides a key cornerstone to future decontamination capability. The JBADS focus is on the biological agent decontamination of the C-130 aircraft and future efforts may address chemical and biological decontamination of other airframes and vehicles. The JBADS Lite (Congressional Interest Item) effort will research and analyze, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, how JBADS decontamination technology could be utilized in the pandemic preparedness of civilian transportation systems. The JBADS Lite was created in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. The JBADS Lite uses Biothermal Decontamination which is hot, humid air to decontaminate the interior of aircraft. The MDAP Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Survivability Initiative ensures weapon system programs at all Acquisition Category (ACAT) levels, as well as non-DoD agency programs such as those programs at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), meet their CBRN defense requirements. This effort facilitates and coordinates the research, development, test and evaluation, procurement, delivery, and life cycle sustainment of affordable CBRN defense materiel solutions for each program's documented CBRN requirements. The Mass Personnel Decontamination (MPD) program will develop an array of rugged and reliable best-of-breed hardware in a manageably sized, easy-to-erect, modular system that can be quickly tailored to different mass casualty events in order to support decontamination of ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients, and allow for the processing of contaminated human remains. The program addresses capability gaps identified within the Consequence Management ICD dated 14 October 2010, the ConMit ICD dated 1 March 2011, and the Mortuary Affairs Operations ICD dated October 2008, modernizing a key capability under the National Defense Strategy's line of effort of building a more lethal force. The MPD program funding ends in FY21 and all program contract, test, and acquisition documentation will be archived and the Joint Requirements Office will enter the Draft Capability Development Document into Knowledge Management/Decision Support tool for archiving. The MPD program funding ends in FY21 and all program contract, test, and acquisition documentation will be archived and the Joint Requirements Office will enter the Draft Capability Development Document into Knowledge Management/Decision Support tool for archiving.
