Mitigate (Op Sys Dev)

Abstract

The Mitigate Operational System Development Project provides the Joint Force continued readiness of fielded personnel and materiel contamination mitigation and chemical agent therapeutic capabilities and provides size, weight and power improvements to reduce logistical burden on the Warfighter. In FY 2023, the Chemical Biological Defense Program (CBDP) RDT&E Projects were restructured to align with the CBDP portfolio construct. MT7 efforts in FY 2022 remain in Projects MC7 and DE7. This restructuring provided standardization and alignment across CBDP research, development and acquisition efforts. Efforts included in this Project are: (1) Improved Nerve Agent Treatment System Centrally Acting (INATS CA), and (2) Modernization Protection Decontamination (MODPROT DE) INATS CA includes modernization of Soman Nerve Agent Pretreatment Pyridostigmine (SNAPP; pyridostigmine bromide [PB] tablets). In FY24, INATS CA continues studies on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved SNAPP, a medical pretreatment against nerve agent poisoning to upgrade its joint service utility and ensure its continued safety and efficacy. Also in FY24, the INATS CA program will submit to the FDA for approval, documents supporting sustained release PB tablets in blister packs. These tablets will provide a single tablet per day dose alternative to the current SNAPP dosing regimen for the pretreatment against soman nerve agent poisoning. Modernization Protection Decontamination (MODPROT DE) addresses modernization and obsolescence across the DoD DE portfolio to increase readiness, sustainability, reliability, and affordability of these systems. Beginning with the 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. In FY24, MODPROT DE will complete the M12 Pressure Accumulator Project, continue M26 modernization efforts to extend service life and sustainment support to include Technical Manual updates with verification and validation, and initiate and complete the M295 and M100 Performance Characterization Project.
