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

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

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
