15) Equipment Decontamination
Abstract
This effort supports the Materiel Contamination Mitigation. The Warfighter has a limited capability to decontaminate personal equipment, weapons, vehicles, ships, and facilities; Sensitive equipment (weapon system optics, electronic equipment, interior spaces, and aircraft); and hazardous waste. Efforts within this thrust seek to develop decontaminant formulations and procedures that reduce or eliminate residual contamination hazards; enable unit-level decontamination with rapid unmasking; reduce logistic needs (need for water); enable rapid sorting of clean from dirty to rapidly return high-value equipment to normal use; and develop improved realistic test methods. Successful efforts will result in improved efficacy, materials compatibility, flexibility, and reduced logistical burden compared to existing and emerging decontamination program requirements.
