21st Century Essential NBC Reference Series Military Chemical and Biological Defense Equipment and Research Plans Joint Service Research Plans for 2003 through 2017 Equipment Overview Bioterrorism Nuclear Biological Chemical Radiation and Radiol Author:Department of Defense This set of documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) provides comprehensive information on joint service chemical and biological defense programs. The first document, JOINT SERVICE CB DEFENSE RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND ACQUISITION PLAN SUPPORTING PLANNING PERIOD FY 2003-2017, "articulates the way forward for the total CB defense progr... more »am and defines a fully coordinated and integrated investment strategy strongly supported throughout the Department of Defense. Our goal is to ensure full dimensional protection for all our Servicemen and women operating under the threat of continued proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Development of effective capabilities to counter the threat is vital to ensuring full dimensional protection of U.S. Forces in a contaminated environment. Our investments therefore must be selective, focusing on the threats and opportunities most relevant to our requirements and applying our resources where we can make the greatest difference. The Joint Service Materiel Group (JSMG) has developed a coordinated Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA) plan that supports the seamless integration of technologies into a system-of-systems architecture for integration across the spectrum of combat and support systems. This plan reveals the Joint Services' strategy for reducing Chemical and Biological (CB) defensive capability shortfalls in the midterm while modernizing to meet far-term Joint Future Operational Capabilities (JFOCs). This plan illustrates a comprehensive business strategy of how the Military Departments will build the CB Defense Program (CBDP) to meet Commander-In-Chief (CINC) and warfighter requirements and provides an overall assessment on the fiscal and technological outlook for the period FY03-17. The CB Defense programs are categorized broadly under six operationally oriented commodity areas: contamination avoidance, individual protection, collective protection, decontamination, medical systems, and modeling and simulation." The report is extensively illustrated with tables and charts providing detailed plans for various systems, and priority lists for NBC research programs, including medical research. The second document is the JOINT SERVICE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE PROGRAM overview, fully illustrated with drawings and photographs of military hardware and equipment, including: Automatic Chemical Agent Detector and Alarm (ACADA), ARTEMIS, Biological Integrated Detection System (BIDS), Improved Chemical Agent Monitor (ICAM), Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS), Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD), Joint Service Lightweight Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Recon System (JSLNBCRS), Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector, Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN), NBC Reconnaissance System, Chemical Biological Protective Shelter (CBPS), Collective Protective System, Joint Service Aircrew Mask, General Purpose Mask, Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit, Vaccines, Decontamination, and much more.« less
