TEST & EVALUATION (ACD&P)
Abstract
This funding supports the Joint Project Manager Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Contamination Avoidance Product Director, Test Equipment, Strategy, and Support (PD TESS) efforts. PD TESS provides test infrastructure products for testing and evaluating chemical and biological defense systems throughout the life cycle acquisition process in support of the Milestone Decision Authority, Joint Project Managers, and the Test and Evaluation (T&E) community. PD TESS test infrastructure products are aligned in four groups to include: (1) Chemical Laboratory (Sense); (2) Biological Laboratory (Sense); (3) Individual Protection, Collective Protection and Decontamination (Shield and Sustain); and (4) Field Simulant (Sense). (1) Chemical Laboratory (Sense): Products for this area include a Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Test Facility. The NTA Facility provides a new capability at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) to conduct highly toxic materials testing using new, emerging threat agents. The NTA facility supports testing of decontamination, collective protection, individual protection, and contamination avoidance products. Major CBDP acquisition programs supported are: the Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD); the Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM); the Lightweight CB Ensemble (LCBE); Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP); Joint Collective Protection Equipment (JCPE); Joint Service Transportable Decontamination System (JSTDS); Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) hardware components; the Joint Protective Aircrew Ensemble (JPACE); the Joint Service Aircrew Mask (JSAM); and the Joint Chemical Ensemble (JCE). (2) Sense Laboratory (Biological): Products for this area include a biological live agent standoff chamber. The Chamber supports Joint Biological standoff detection testing in biological live agent environments. Major CBDP acquisition program support is the Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS) Block II. (3) Individual Protection, Collective Protection and Decontamination (Shield and Sustain): Products for this area include: Chemical, Biological Agent Resistance Test (CBART) fixture and Decontamination Coupon Validation Effort. CBART fixture provides a near real time testing capability under a range of environmental conditions for individual and collective protection materials. The Decontamination Coupon Validation Effort develops laboratory procedures to reduce variability in decontamination coupon testing. Acquisition Programs supported are: Joint Platform Interior Decontamination/Joint Material Decontamination System (JPID/JMDS); Joint Service Transportable Decontamination System (JSTDS); Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP); Joint Collective Protection Equipment (JCPE); Protective Clothing; Joint Protective Aircrew Ensemble (JPACE); Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM); Joint Service Aircrew Mask (JSAM); and the Joint Chemical Ensemble (JCE).
