- Chem-Bio Sensor Feasibility Study for WMD Counterforce Applications Project/Global Strike Introduction: Success of current and future military operations is conditioned upon rapidly detecting threats, assessing them, and acting decisively to negate the threats in order to achieve operational objectives with minimal risk. As part of the Battle Damage Assessm ent (BDA) for Global Strike Missions, Chemical Warfare, Biological Warfare and Toxic Industrial Chemical (from the ITF-25 list) sensors will be employed to help assess any releases from various strategic targets. DTRA has tasked the Department of Energys (DOE) Kansas City Plant to repackage existing sensors into a BLU-97 submunition form factor to meet remote deployment goals. Request: DTRA has tasked the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center to seek out Government Agencies and Commercial Vendors that can provide applicable sensors and collaboration for sensor repackaging. ECBC has formed an Integrated Product Team to review candidates, a nd provide recommendations to DTRA. Package: The BLU-97 form factor is 6.65 inches long and 2.51 inches in diameter. Vendors or Government Agencies must be willing to work with DTRA and the Department of Energy to repackage and integrate detectors into their sensor package and network. Detector pac kages will transmit results to a command center in a yet to be determined manner. Sensors will be expected to operate in the field for 2 to 4 days, without expectation for recovery. Deployment: The BLU-97 type packages are expected to be dropped via aerial vehicle in groups of a yet undetermined quantity. Sensors: - Sensors should be of reasonable dimensions so that, with minimal reengineering and repackaging, they can meet the BLU-97 form factor. This form factor will also contain an undisclosed power source as well as transmitting device. - Sensors should be reasonably robust. However, DOE will work with vendors to ruggedize repackaged devices. - Sensors should be able to digitally transmit data on demand or continually, so that it can be retrieved near real time. - Sensors should have a proven track record to function as advertised. Vendor Information: The Edgewood Chemical Biological Centers Battlefield Management Team has put together a Technology Screening Integrated Process Team to evaluate vendor proposals to fill these defined mission needs and specifications. Vendors should contact Stephen Skoln ik at 410-436-3955 or Stephen.skolnik@us.army.mil, for direction on how to submit sensor details. Database submissions and updates will be accepted from 7 July through 7 August, 2006.
