Decontamination (Op Sys Dev)

Abstract

This project addresses obsolescence issues with decontamination equipment and the need to modernize the Joint Services fielded chemical and biological with capabilities meeting or exceeding the Services requirements. The effort included in this project is: (1) Modernization Protection (MODPROT), and (2) Modernization Protection Decontamination (MODPROT DE) MODPROT will be split into three programs in FY21 to fund three separate Modernization Efforts: Modernization Protection Collective Protection (MODPROT CP), Modernization Protection Decontamination (MODPROT DE), and Modernization Protection Individual Protection (MODPROT IP). MODPROT DE addresses obsolescence and technical data concerns, beginning with the M26 Joint Services Transportable Decontamination System-Small Scale (JSTDS-SS) through validation and verification of Technical Manual (TM) changes as well as technical data for spare and repair parts; the M12A1 Power Driven Decontamination Apparatus (PDDA) by updating technical references and performing the necessary validation and verification before publishing an updated TM; Conduct biological efficacy at relevant environment (i.e. ambient, desert, cold) for Joint Service Equipment Wipe (JSEW) to expand wipe capabilities to include performance against biological agents; and Conduct efficacy of emerging sorbent technologies for M295/M100 to increase reactivity properties against nerve agents. In FY22 the MODPROT DE program will continue updates to technical data for M26 JSTDS-SS Technical Data Package (TDP) and conduct Health Hazard Assessments (HHA) on expired M295/M100.
