TEST & EVALUATION (ACD&P)
Abstract
This project supports the Chemical Biological Defense Portfolio (CBDP) Product Director, Test, Equipment, Strategy, and Support (PD TESS). Project will continue as Chem Bio Material Assessment Infrastructure (CBMAI) beginning in fiscal year 2019. TESS/CBMAI provides test infrastructure products to support testing and evaluating chemical and biological defense systems throughout the life cycle acquisition process. TESS/CBMAI products are aligned in three areas to include: (1) Analysis and Requirements; (2) Laboratory; (3) Field. The program name changed to highlight the Assessment function, which includes: analysis and analytical products conducted in support of infrastructure improvements. (1) Analysis and Requirements: The products for this area are the analyses of requirements and justification of needs for test infrastructure to support acquisition efforts (e.g. Programs of Record (PORs), Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs), and Accelerated Acquisition). The result is a verified need for component upgrades to existing test infrastructure, dynamic laboratory upgrades to existing test infrastructure, or initiation of new test infrastructure. (2) Laboratory: The products for this area are the Non-Traditional Agent Defense Test System (NTADTS) and improvements to the Dynamic Test Chamber (DTC). The NTADTS provides a new capability to conduct chemical defense testing against current and emerging threat agents. The NTADTS supports testing of decontamination, collective protection, individual protection, and contamination avoidance products. The DTC provides a new capability for testing chemical point detection systems against chemical warfare agents in various environmental conditions. The CBD acquisition programs supported are Aerosol-Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (AVCAD) (formerly Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD 1)), Proximity Chemical Agent Detector (PCAD) (formerly NGCD 2), Multiphase Chemical Agent Detector (MPCAD) (formerly NGCD 3), Wearable Chemical Agent Detector (WCAD) (formerly NGCD 4), Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble (UIPE) Increment 2 and Common Analytical Laboratory System (CALS). Future efforts will include the development of test methods and methodologies for additional classes of agents. (3) Field: The products for this area are Test Grid, Open Architecture Data Management System (OADMS) (formerly Safari Test Grid), Joint Ambient Breeze Tunnel (JABT), and Active Standoff Chamber (ASC). The Test Grid effort provides a fully instrumented grid for chemical and biological simulant field test capabilities that integrate referee systems; dissemination equipment; real-time cloud tracking capability; meteorological equipment; a wireless network; and a Data Management System (DMS) software to track and display the simulant cloud; and provide status of all of the equipment in the network at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG). OADMS is an all-inclusive, open architecture, mobile management service functioning wirelessly, capable of integrating, controlling, commanding and managing all assets required to conduct chemical and biological (CB) tests at any Major Range Test Facility Base (MRTFB). OADMS provides algorithms and graphical user interfaces for automating real-time visualization, raw data, computation, hosts data collection and indefinite storage that can go to any MRTFB for CB Testing. The JABT and ASC improvements will provide a tech refresh to existing infrastructure and allow establishment of test data correlation between laboratory-tunnels-field for test results. The CBD acquisition programs supported are the Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP), Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD), Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS), Uniform Integrated Protection Ensemble (UIPE), and the Joint USFK Point and Integrated Threat Recognition (JUPITR) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD). Experimentation and demonstration will be used to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs.
