  2. Accelerating Technology TransitionOperation Iraqi Freedom New Capabilities Fox TICs Data Chip Navy Bio Detector Special Purpose Automatic Chemical Agent Alarm (ACADA) Chemical Biological Protective Shelter CBPS 1600+ Special Fit Protective Suits 500+ Special Fit Protective Masks M40 Mask Voicemitter Decontamination System (Karcher) Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents (SERPACWA) Dry Filter Unit 2000 (DFU) Chemically Protected Deployable Medical System (CP DEPMEDS) Antidote Treatment, Nerve Agent Autoinjector (ATNAA) Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL) WWCC Panel Discussion Oct 23 2003

  3. Good News • Surge Where We Needed It Most • Collective Protection • Protective Suits • Protective Masks • Biological Detectors • New Designs/ Technology Insertions Worked • Fox MM I - TIC’s • ACADA • Special Purpose Detectors • Mask Voice Amplifiers • Draw on Technology Readiness Evaluation for Accelerating Procurements – Independent Testing WWCC Panel Discussion Oct 23 2003

  4. Good News - continued • Joint Training and Doctrine Support From CMLS • T&E Military Utility Assessments • FDA Approval for ALL Drugs/ Vaccines/ Medical Materials WWCC Panel Discussion Oct 23 2003

  5. Bad News • Attempts to Sell Untested Material • ATSD (NBC) Memo, 7 Feb 03 Subject: Procurement of Chem/ Bio Defense Equipment • Requires Independent Government T&E • Requires Establishing System Safety and Effectiveness • Limited Industrial Base “Surge” Capacity • Mask Spare Parts • Detectors WWCC Panel Discussion Oct 23 2003

  6. Good News/ Bad News • Contractor Logistics Support • Outstanding Operational Readiness Rates • Service Doctrine Requires Adjustments • Systems Performance • Systems Worked For Intended Use • They Are Not Always Used as Intended • Information Management • Networked- Where We Could • Insufficant Connectivity, Modularity, Commonality • Requires Operational/ Systems/ Technical Architecture WWCC Panel Discussion Oct 23 2003

  7. Summary- IMHO • “Warm” Industrial Base Across Commodities Not Affordable • Limited “Depot” or “Depot/ Industrial Partner” Industrial Base for Force-Wide, High Demand Items • Cross- Leveling/ Reallocation Remains Norm • “Next War” Remains “Come As You Are” • Independent Government Testing for Safety and Effectiveness is the Minimum Standard WWCC Panel Discussion Oct 23 2003
