TECHBASE TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION (ACD&P)
Abstract
This project (TT4) validates high-risk/high-payoff technologies, concepts-of-operations, and reconnaissance and surveillance platforms that could significantly improve Warfighter capabilities in preparation for transition of mature technologies to advanced development programs requiring chemical and biological (CB) defense technologies. These programs offer an opportunity to identify and efficiently mature emerging technologies from laboratory experiments to acquisition programs through risk reduction, engineering and integration. These Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs) and Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs) seek to demonstrate the potential for enhanced military operational capability and/or cost effectiveness. Upon conclusion of the technical and operational demonstrations, the user or sponsor provides a determination of the military utility and operational impact of the technology and capability demonstrated. Successfully demonstrated technologies with proven military utility can either be left in place for extended user evaluations, accepted into advanced stages of the formal acquisition process, proceed directly into limited or full-scale production or be returned to the technical base for further development. This project funds three major thrust areas (two of which are new thrust areas that consolidate legacy systems and are annotated as such below): Advanced Remediation Technologies (ART), Early Warning Military Application in Reconnaissance Systems (EW-MARS), and Comprehensive Innovative Protection (CIP). The ART addresses Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) remediation and decontamination processes and demonstrates technologies and methods to restore assets such as mobile equipment, fixed sites, critical infrastructures, personal, and equipment to operational status as a result of having reduced or eliminated CBR contamination. The EW-MARS (new thrust area) achieves enhanced command and control decision making capabilities as a result of a combined and orchestrated family of chemical and biological defense systems deployed on various platforms in remote locations. The CIP (new thrust area) transitions mature technologies to improve individual and collective protection capabilities for U.S. and coalition Warfighters. The following is a description of specific efforts funded under each thrust area: ART: Interagency Biological Restoration Demonstration (IBRD) - A Department of Defense (DoD)/Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collaborative effort that will provide a coordinated, systems approach to the recovery and restoration of wide urban areas. This will include Department of Defense (DoD) infrastructures and high traffic areas (transit/transportation facilities) following the aerosol release of a biological agent. Special Platform Interior Decontamination and Equipment Restoration (SPIDER) - A concept exploration effort that focused on decontaminating the interior of an aircraft following the release of a chemical agent. This effort merged into the Decontamination Family of Systems, also known as HaMMER (see below for description). Automated Detailed Equipment Decontamination for Land Vehicles (Auto Decon) - A chemical and biological decontamination process for land vehicles, which will prototype an improved decontamination process and will evaluate the current Detailed Equipment Decontamination (DED), which is the most thorough of Joint Service decontamination procedures. This effort will merge into the Decontamination Family of Systems, also known as HaMMER (see below for description). Hazard Mitigation Material and Equipment Restoration (HaMMER) - A layered strategy to identify individual technologies that may be collectively applied to reduce or eliminate chemical and biological hazards. It includes a Decontamination Family of Systems that gives the Warfighter multiple capabilities to reduce or eliminate chemical hazards. This effort leverages upon and consolidates Auto Decon and SPIDER efforts described above. EW-MARS: Military Applications in Reconnaissance Systems for Joint Force Protection (MARS-JFP) - A data fusion ATD that leverages early warning technologies developed in Budget Activity 3 (Project TT3) to improve the capability to detect and react to an initial chemical and biological attack, as well as prevent a second attack. Specifically, this effort focuses on force protection decision making for external, cross domain sensors for cueing/tipping, and managing resources of dynamically deployable high quality chemical and biological sensors. Rapid Area Surveillance Reconnaissance (RASR) - A sensitive-site exploration, standoff reconnaissance, ATD that leverages early warning technologies developed in Budget Activity 3 (Project TT3) to survey large areas (whole rooms, courtyards, fields) and assess and identify contamination with Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs). Post Intercept Weapons of Mass Destruction Identification (PIWID) - An ATD that leverages early warning technologies developed in Budget Activity 3 (Project TT3), which addresses both operational and technical issues associated with the capability to determine the presence of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in the threat payload of ballistic or cruise missile delivery systems after a successful active defense intercept. CIP: Demo-Low Burden Individual Protection Demonstration (IP Demo) - An ATD that leverages lightweight chemical and biological protective textiles developed in Budget Activity 3 (Project CB3, Protection and Hazard Mitigation), and will support the next generation Joint Chemical Ensemble. This effort will provide significantly decreased thermal burden correlated with acceptable levels of chemical and biological protection, as well as significantly increase the ability of the Warfighter to accomplish a mission in a contaminated environment. Joint Medical Distance Support and Evaluation (JMDSE) - A Joint Concept Technology Demonstration (JCTD) that leverages the results of the EBD (see above for description) and seeks new detect-to-treat concept of operations (CONOPS) enabled by the deployment of new chemical and biological detection and identification capabilities to front line forces.
