Enabling Investments (SDD)
Abstract
The Enabling Investments System Development & Demonstration (SDD) Project provides the capability to rapidly develop, manufacture, and approve medical countermeasures through sustaining the DoD advanced development manufacturing facility. Enabling efforts in this area support dedicated infrastructure capabilities, demonstrations, and overarching development support functions as portfolio enablers responding to emerging threats. Additional efforts facilitate incorporation of CB survivability equipment into Service major acquisition programs. Efforts included in this Project are: (1)Chem Bio Incident Preparedness and Response - Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CBIPR-ADM), and (2)Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) The CBIPR-ADM program maintains the DoD-ADM facility in a state of operational readiness so that it can rapidly develop and manufacture medical countermeasures (MCMs) against current and emerging chemical and biological threats including pandemic response. Operational readiness is achieved by establishing and enhancing proven biopharmaceutical manufacturing platform technologies and infrastructure at the facility. By establishing and enhancing proven manufacturing platform technologies and infrastructure, the DoD-ADM facility will have the capability to accelerate development of MCMs at all stages of development, enhance preparedness for existing threats, and rapidly respond to emerging threats as part of a medical integrated layered defense. MCMs impacted by these efforts include: Vaccines for Viral Agents, Vaccines for Bacterial Agents and Toxins, monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments and conjugates for therapeutic and prophylactic use across all agent classes. Funds to support the facility in a state of operational readiness were previously provided via individual product development and manufacturing funding lines. The Department is now providing dedicated funds. The CBIPR-ADM return on investment is an increased level of preparedness and responsiveness. In FY23, the CBIPR-ADM program continues to establish and enhance new manufacturing platform technologies that will enable the development of MCMs against chemical and biological threats. 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 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.
