- Description
- Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS) Increment 2 Team is sponsoring Biological Standoff Detection Field Demo, Tech Demo V This modification of special notice JBDSD-INCREMENT-II changes the start period from June 2008 to June 2009. The Edgewood Chemical Biological Center and the Joint Program Manager for Biological Defense (JPM-BD), Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS) Team is sponsoring a Biological Standoff Detection Field Demo, Tech Demo V. This field demo will be used as a technical test to evaluate mature technologies and/or combinations of technologies for their potential to meet the JBSDS Increment 2 requirements. The field demo is planned for Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, Eglin Air Force Base, FL, and an urban false alarm evaluation site to be determined, starting in June 2009 with a test duration of 6+ weeks (including setup at each location). Key requirements for JBSDS Increment 2 include: "An active LIDAR system with at least a TRL 6 or better for hardware and a real time bio discrimination algorithm "Discrimination Sensitivity (bio agent cloud vs. other cloud) during day and night conditions of 1000 ACPLA at 1 Km. "Low false alarm rate to battlefield interferents and common, localized background aerosols "Operationally eye and skin safe Tech Demo V will include bio simulant releases as well as interferent releases in the Joint Ambient Breeze Tunnel (JABT) as well as open air releases, at ranges up to 4 km, to determine the sensitivity of selected technologies and their ability to detect and discriminate bio aerosol clouds while not false alarming to interferents. At least half of the releases will be blind trials. The JABT is a 10 meter wide, 116 meter long tunnel, open on both ends, that is used for system sensitivity measurements. Bio aerosol simulants are disseminated within the tunnel at known concentrations. Systems under test are typically situated 1.2 km from the tunnel opening and aligned to have a clear line of sight thru the entire tunnel length. The JPM-BD is interested in identifying technologies for participation in the field demo that meet the key requirements above. Mature technologies that meet the key requirements and are capable of performing in a field environment will be considered. Selected technologies will be evaluated and modeled by the JPM-BD for potential applicability in JBSDS Increment 2 by themselves or as an integrated component of multiple technologies. The U.S. Army is under no obligation to select any technology for the Field Demo or for future acquisition programs. The field demo will offer participants an opportunity to obtain unique performance data that can be used in their development work. The US Army is not responsible for any costs incurred by the participants as a result of attending this Field Demo. To be responsive to this announcement developers/sponsors must supply the following in writing to the JPM Bio Defense, ATTN: SFAE-CBD-BD/Ogba Melles, Building E3548, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010, no later than close of business 27 February 2009: A description of the equipment proposed that includes performance capabilities, technology employed and physical characteristics; a historical synopsis of the development; all pertinent test reports and performance models; a photograph of the system, safety assessment (include laser safety information for laser systems) and the JBSDS Increment 2 key requirements that you anticipate demonstrating. Also provide any improvements to the equipment that was used in prior Government testing (Joint Field Trials and TREs). Submit information requested electronically via email or delivered by mail on a CD/DVD. Email your questions, if preferred, directly to Ogba Melles at ogbazghi.melles@us.army.mil. TRL 6 Definitions for JBSDS Increment II Tech Demo V (Hardware & System) Hardware-Knowledge Detection and discrimination of a sample of simulated threat agents in the presence of interferents in a laboratory environment. Agent / Surrogate database well developed, signatures of pure material, dirty material, and interferents completed for initial targets. Modeling with surrogates matches system performance in field testing and indicates capability to meet requirements. Hardware-Form, Fit & Function Functional compatibility of prototype components has been demonstrated to detect and discriminate biological surrogates in a relevant environment. Hardware-Testing Detector prototype tested individually with multiple biological surrogates and Interferents to detect and discriminate from the four biological agent classes. Advanced testing of surrogates and surrogates mixed with interferents in laboratory environment. Hardware-Environment Breadboard laboratory trials with surrogates and surrogates mixed with interferents in laboratory environment. System-Integration Demonstrated in a high fidelity laboratory simulation. Multiple mock-up with improvements fabricated and demonstrated for subsystems. System-Environment Breadboard tested with surrogates and surrogates mixed with interferents in laboratory environment Agent / Surrogate database well developed, signatures of pure material, dirty material, and interferents completed for initial targets. Modeling indicates capability to meet requirements. System-Testing System components tested individually, and assembled as a single unit and tested with multiple biological surrogates and interferents. Advanced testing of surrogates and surrogates mixed with interferents in laboratory environment. Agent / Surrogate database well developed, signatures of pure material, dirty material, and interferents completed for initial targets. Modeling with surrogates matches system performance in field testing and indicates capability to meet requirements.
