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 three groups to include: (1) Sense Laboratory (Chemical); (2) Sense Laboratory (Biological); and (3) Individual Protection, Collective Protection and Decontamination (Shield and Sustain). (1) Sense Laboratory (Chemical): The product for this area is the Non-Traditional Agent Defense Test System (NTADTS). The NTADTS provides a new capability at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) to conduct highly toxic materials testing using new, emerging threat agents. The NTADTS supports testing of decontamination, collective protection, individual protection, and contamination avoidance products. The CBD acquisition program supported are Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets Kits and Outfits (DR SKO), Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD), Decon Family of Systems (DFoS), Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP), Joint Service Aircrew Mask - Fixed and Rotary Wing (JSAM-FW), (JSAM-RW), and Common Analytical Laboratory System (CALS). (2) Sense Laboratory (Biological): The product for this area is the Standoff Detection Test System (SDTS). The SDTS, as a new start, will provide test and evaluation capability for the Joint Standoff Detection System (JSDS) acquisition program. (3) Individual Protection, Collective Protection and Decontamination (Shield and Sustain): The product for this area is the Chemical Biological Agent Resistance Test Fixture (CBART). Projected location for these T&E capabilities is Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah. CBART provides state of the art material swatch test fixture for individual and collective protection systems.
