Biological Defense
Mission
The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical
and Biological Defense is Responsible for
Research, Development, Acquisition, Fielding, and
Life-Cycle Support of Chemical, Biological,
Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense
Equipment, Medical Countermeasures, and
Installation and Force Protection Supporting the
National Military Strategy

Transforming CB DefenseThe Concept

• Elements of Transformation
• Continuing Process
• Creating/Anticipating the Future
• Co-Evolution of Concepts, Processes,
  Organizations, and Technology
• New Competitive Areas/Competencies Revalued
  Attributes
• Execute Flexible Fielding and Lifecycle
  Management Strategies
• Fundamental Shifts in Underlying Principles
• Systems Approach to New Capability
• Culture Attitudes, Values, Beliefs

The ultimate competitive advantage lies in an
organizations ability to learn and rapidly
transform that learning into action.

FCS CBRN Sensor Strategy

• Suspect
• Event Detected by Collateral
• ISR Sensors

• Avoid Contamination Standoff first
• If time critical Aerial first
• Safety Unmanned first
• Confidence Higher with disparate technologies

Summary

• JPEO-CBD is defining integrated CBRN defense
  systems for Major Defense Acquisition Programs
• CBRN Systems will provide increased CBRN
  situational awareness and protection
• Standard interface definition will allow
• Easier platform integration
• Insertion of new technology
