Why is CBRN Defense Different

• Post-Gulf War analysis demonstrated excessive
  duplication of effort among the Services in
  development and acquisition of NBC defense
  equipment, resulting in operational inefficiencies

Public Law 103-160(NDA Act for Fiscal Year 1994)

• The Secretary of Defense shall . . . Assign
  responsibility for overall coordination and
  integration of the chemical and biological
  warfare defense program and the chemical and
  biological medical defense program to a single
  office within the Secretary of Defense. . . .
  Exercise oversight over the chemical and
  biological defense program through the Defense
  Acquisition Board process. . . .
• The Secretary of Defense shall designate the
  Army as executive agent for the Department of
  Defense to coordinate and integrate research,
  development, test, and evaluation, and
  acquisition requirements of the military
  departments for chemical and biological warfare
  defense programs of the Department of Defense.

This section of PL 103-160 is now 50 USC 1522

Public Law 103-160(NDA Act for Fiscal Year 1994)

• The budget for the Department of Defense for
  each fiscal year after fiscal year 1994 shall
  reflect a coordinated and integrated chemical and
  biological defense program for the military
  departments.
• Funding requests for the program shall be set
  forth in the budget . . . with a single program
  element for each of the categories of research,
  development, test, and evaluation, acquisition,
  and military construction . . . . Funding
  requests for the program may not be included in
  the budget accounts of the military departments.

Problem Defined

• DOD elements are procuring capabilities to meet
  unique Homeland Defense mission
• ATSD (NCB) memo dated 3 Feb 03 requires product
  performance validation prior to fielding/ use
• Establish new framework- new mission area/
  capabilities

8
Framework

• Look at proven National Standards as baseline
• Any equipment in the Chem, Bio, Radiological,
  Nuclear (CBRN) Defense area
• Applies to all DOD- military and workers
• DHS will set the standards
• NSERP is not a testing program- validation of
  performance to stated concept of operations/
  operating environment
