TEST & EVALUATION (SDD)
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) Field Simulant Test (Sense); (4) Individual Protection, Collective Protection and Decontamination (Shield and Sustain). (1) Chemical Laboratory (Sense): The product for this area is the Dynamic Test Chamber (DTC) for chemical point sensors, and Non-Traditional Agent (NTA) Test System. The Dynamic Test Chamber provides a new capability for testing chemical point detection systems against chemical warfare agents in various environmental conditions. The NTA Test System provides a new capability at Edgewood Chemical Biological Center to conduct highly toxic material testing using new emerging threats. The NTA Test System supports testing of Decontamination, Collective Protection, Individual Protection, and Contamination Avoidance products. The CBD programs supported are: the Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) and Improved Point Detection System (IPDS). (2) Sense Laboratory (Biological): The product for this area is the Whole System Live Agent Test (WSLAT) "Full System" Chamber. The WSLAT "Full System" Chamber supports testing of all biological point detection systems in production configuration in biological live agent environments. The chemical biological defense (CBD) programs supported are: the Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS)/JBPDS Block II; and the Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS) Inc. 2. (3) Field Simulant (Sense): The product for this area is a fully instrumented Simulant Test Grid. The Test Grid effort provides a fully instrumented 20 km by 40 km field simulant test capability that integrates cloud tracking equipment; meteorological equipment; and test data network.. The CBD programs supported are: the Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD); Next Generation Chemical Standoff Detection (NGCSD) System; the Joint NBC Reconnaissance System (JNBCRS); and the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN). (4) Individual Protection, Collective Protection and Decontamination (Shield and Sustain): Products for this area include: a Small Item Decontamination (SID) Chamber; Individual Protection Ensemble Mannequin System (IPEMS); and Collective Protection (ColPro) instrumentation and facilities. The Small Item Decontamination Chamber provides an enhanced ability to conduct decontamination and residual agent off-gassing testing. IPEMS provides an articulated robotic mannequin that simulates Warfighters activities and includes under ensemble agent sensing capability for evaluating IPE against chemical warfare agents. IPEMS consists of an articulated robotic mannequin, exposure chamber, control room, and real time under-ensemble sensor system. Collective Protection instrumentation and fixture upgrades provide improved test capabilities at Dugway Proving Ground, and the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center for the evaluation of entire ColPro systems, subsystems and individual components. The CBD programs supported are: Joint Protective Aircrew Ensemble (JPACE); Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM); Joint Service Aircrew Mask (JSAM) - Fixed Wing (FW), Rotary Wing (RW), and Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) variants; Joint Service Chemical Environment Survivability Mask (JSCESM); Joint Chemical Ensemble (JCE); Uniform Individual Protective Ensemble (UIPE); Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST); Joint Chemical/Biological Coverall for Combat Vehicle Crewmen (JC3); Joint Material Decontamination System (JMDS) (Includes Joint Platform Interior Decontamination/Joint Service Sensitive Equipment Decontamination (JPID/JSSED)); Joint Service Transportable Decontamination System (JSTDS); Joint Expeditionary Collective Protection (JECP); and Joint Collective Protection Equipment (JCPE).
