R3849 – Computer-Based Training forExplosives Detection Technologies • Description: Design and develop a computer/web-based training package for explosives detection technologies. • Specifications: • Initial and sustainment training. • Incorporate virtual environments and devices, graphics, and video. • Focus on basic science of explosives detection. • Include device set up, hazards, maintenance, and common troubleshooting techniques and solutions.
R3850 – High Volume Explosives Sampling • Description: Develop new methods to more effectively and efficiently collect nanogram quantities of commercial, military, and homemade explosives. • Specifications: • Capable of collecting nanogramlevels of particles (both airborne and present on surfaces) and/or collect part per billion levels of explosives vapors. • Assessments of capability will be performed using standard laboratory analytical instruments and/or commercial explosive trace detectors. • New detection technologies are not sought under this requirement.
R3851 – Next Generation NFPA 1994 Ruggedized Class 2 Ensemble • Description: Develop a one-piece garment that provides NFPA 1994, Class 2 protection and is optimized for combat applications. • Specifications: • Optimize for users wearing body armor, communications equipment, ammunition basic load, personnel weapons, and water supplies. • Increased durability and load carrying capacity is required. • Design shall not prohibit the use of knee and elbow pads.
R3852 – Next Generation NFPA 1994Ruggedized Class 3 Ensemble • Description: Develop a garment that provides NFPA 1994, Class 3 and NFPA 1992 protection. • Specifications: • Provide extended mission percutaneous protection for up to 4 hours. • Garment shall be durable enough to withstand the rigorous use associated with tactical and search and rescue operations. • Increased cut and puncture resistance required. • Reinforced regions at the knees and elbows.
R3853 – Scalable Vacuum EvidentiaryPowder Collection Devices • Description: Collect and isolate powder by vacuum into a sealable chamber to minimize sample manipulation and preclude cross-contamination. • Specifications: • Size: portable/handheld. • Collection Capacity: 10 mg to 1 g. • Materials: powder-contact surfaces should be conductive or static dissipating to minimize particle adhesion. • Recovery Efficiency: greater than 90%. • Sample Type: solid required; liquid capability also desired.
R3855 – Enhanced Explosives Detection of Mixtures Using Commercially Available Raman Systems • Description: Develop new algorithms to increase the specificity and improve the overall utility of commercial Raman explosive detection systems. • Specifications: • Accurate identification of both the fuel and the oxidizer in any ratios within an explosive mixture. • Solutions may be considered using algorithms, different laser probes, or any combination that can be adapted to work on handheld devices currently deployed. • Exploit algorithm differences in government, international, and commercial version of Raman software to optimize overall performance. • Algorithm shall be able to re-evaluate detection results of COTS Raman systems.
R000 – CBRNE FY15 Unspecified Requirement • Description: Develop new or improved technologies or emerging technological capabilities pertaining to CBRNE that may be of interest to TSWG, but were not specifically requested in the BAA and are not commercially available. Proposed projects shall be timely, relevant, and further worldwide combating terrorism efforts. • Areas of particular interest include: • Next generation materials for personal protective clothing and respiratory protection. • Decision support tools. • Methods for chemical and biological material attribution. • Biological detection systems utilizing orthogonal approaches. • Mobile learning and performance support applications.
