Outline

• Program Overview
• Warfighter Needs
• Technical Challenges
• Acquisition Strategy/ Funding/ Schedule
• Upcoming Business Opportunities
• Contacts

3
Overview

• Develop, Test, Produce, Field, and Sustain Full
  Spectrum
• Sensing capability for traditional and emerging
  CBRN threats.
• Obscuration capability for transforming forces
  and dynamic missions.
• Deliver Test Capability Packages Synchronized to
  Initial Program Development and Downstream
  Enhancements
• Ultimate Goal is to Enhance CBRN Contamination
  Avoidance Capability, Enable Actionable
  Awareness, and Reduce the Burden on the Warfighter

4
Warfighter Needs

• Small, Hand Held (or Smaller) Detectors
• Remote and Standoff Detection
• Trace Detection
• Confident Detection and Identification of
  Unknowns in all Phases (Solid, Liquid, Gas)
• Renewed Emphasis on Toxic Industrial Chemicals
  and Materials and Radiation Detection
• Packaged for Platforms (Right Payload) and
  Communications Capable
• Simple, Robust Designs that are Easy to Use

5
Technical Challenges

• Lightweight detection
• Reduced Power Requirements
• Rechargeable, common batteries are a priority
• Ultra sensitivity to very low levels of hazard
• Integration into relevant common operational
  picture
• Interferent rejection
• Detection of hazardous chemicals
• Ultra-reliable with reduced life cycle costs
• Rapid, automatic, accurate operation for
  detection, warning, quantification and self-check
• Multi-functional sensing
• Operable Worldwide

• Fresh approaches to familiar needs

• Agile Thinking that Postures the
  Government/Industry Team to
• Address Novel Threat Presentations
• Respond to Urgent User Demands and Implementation
• Achieve Technological and Doctrinal Synergies

No False Alarms

Acquisition Strategy

• Tailorable to Meet Warfighters Requirements
• Bringing Relevant Significant Increments of
  Capability Builds Momentum
• Successful Programs get Resourced Poor
  Executors Dont
• Empowered, Multi-disciplined Teams Leverage Each
  Others Strengths Need Maximum Output for
  Minimum Schedule
• Increased Awareness and Optimized Use of COTS and
  NDI

JCAD Overview

• The Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) Program
  will Result in the Acquisition of a Joint
  Portable Monitoring and Small Point Chemical
  Agent Detector for Aircraft, Shipboard and
  Individual Soldier Applications. JCAD is a
  Detector Capable of Automatically Detecting,
  Identifying, and Quantifying Chemical Agents
  Inside Aircraft and Shipboard Interiors,
  Providing Hand-held Monitoring Capabilities, and
  Alerting the Individual Soldier/ Sailor/ Airman/
  Marine Through the Use of Pocket-Sized Detection
  and Alarm
• The Increment 2 Device Must be Sufficiently
  Sensitive to Warn Aircrews Before Accumulation of
  a Dose, Over the Entire Mission, Which Will Cause
  Miosis or More Severe Effects, be Resistant to
  the Severe Interferent Environment on a Naval
  Vessel, and be Small and Rugged for Individual Use

8
JCAD Technical Challenges

• Sensitivity vs. Selectivity
• Environmental Conditions
• -32C to 49C
• 0 to 100 RH
• Agent Concentrations 100 Times Less than Fielded
  Systems
• TICs
• JWARN Compatible
