Management Support (Mgmt Support)

Abstract

This project provides management support for the Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). It includes program oversight and integration of overall non-Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Defense Equipment (non-CDE) and CBRN Defense Equipment (CDE) programs by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs (ASD(NCB)) and defense programs through the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense (DASD(CBD)). Funds execution management is provided by Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). This project supports the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Biosafety. The Biological Select Agent and Toxins (BSAT) Biorisk Program Office (BBPO) supports the DoD Executive Agent (EA) and Executive Agent Responsible Official (EARO) for BSAT Biosafety and Biosecurity Programs in their responsibilities for mission oversight, technical review, inspection, harmonization of biosafety and biosecurity protocols and procedures across DoD laboratories handling BSAT. A portion of the funding line transitions to BSAT Research Support starting in FY20 to support the Scientific Gaps in Biorisk Research Program (SGBRP) to address gaps in scientific knowledge to facilitate validation of BSAT protocols and procedures. Closing these gaps will reduce the inherent risks associated with BSAT research in CBDP laboratories and supports research and development work on priority agents. Research projects, selected from an order of merit list are funded for one year. The Joint Acquisition Chemical, Biological, Knowledge System (JACKS) Defense Business System (DBS) provides for management support for software development and application hosting on Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (NIPRNet) and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) of the JACKS; and information technology solutions, and business intelligence tools to provide data visualization, reporting, and Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) utilization for the CBRN community. JACKS provides the CBRN community a centralized authoritative and comprehensive source of CBRN products information through a single database interface. The project also provides management support for the Joint Staff/J8 Joint Requirements Office (JRO) for CBRN defense. The JRO represents the Services and Combatant Commands (CCMD) in the requirements generation process for materiel and non-materiel solutions in the medial and physical CBRN defense mission areas; leads the CBD Program Objective Memorandum (POM)/budgeting process development; conducts foundational studies for the CWMD/CBRN defense community; and supports CCMD exercises; Joint CBRN Defense Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA) planning; input to the Chemical Biological Defense (CBD) Annual Report to Congress; and program guidance development by the Program Analysis and Integration Office (PAIO). This project also supports the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CBRND) Test and Evaluation (T&E) Executive, who is responsible for the planning, balancing, and oversight of test infrastructure and test technology requirements to support Developmental Testing (DT) and Operational Testing (OT) of DoD CBRND systems, as outlined in the RDA Plan. The CBRND T&E Executive oversees the Enterprise processes to develop and sustain standardized T&E methodologies and validated instrumentation and infrastructure to ensure the adequacy of test for CBRND systems in alignment with acquisition milestones and associated decision points. The Joint Test Infrastructure Working Group (JTIWG) program supports T&E Early Involvement; test threat planning; T&E studies; and T&E standards planning and development to support CBRND testing for all Services to include medical T&E efforts. The CBRND T&E Executive directly supports OSD T&E oversight of acquisition programs and provides the mechanism for early T&E involvement in the acquisition process. The CBRND T&E Executive provides the T&E infrastructure investment strategy and coordinates investment planning and T&E capabilities validation among the Joint Service Community to ensure that program needs are met. The CBRND T&E Executive oversees the T&E processes to ensure end to end feedback loops to support to the Warfighter. The project includes programming support for the Joint Service CB Information System (JSCBIS) which serves as a budgetary and informational database for the DoD CBDP. JSCBIS will transition to the modernized system, the Joint Integrated CBRN Analytic Platform (JICAP). Also included within the project is financial management services to include fund distribution, execution reporting, and fiscal financial statements.
