Joint Service Chemical & Biological Defense Program Overview ...

Program Description:
To fill the urgent need for a biological detection system, yet field mature technologies, the BIDS has an evolutionary acquisition strategy.
Initially an NDI (Interim) BIDS, consisting of primarily off-the-shelf instrumentation, provides a limited manual detection/identification
capability. This has been followed by a Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) BIDS with an expanded and semi-automated detection/
identification capability. Subsequent integration of the Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS) will provide a fully automated, broadspectrum
biological detection/identification capability.
FY00 Accomplishments:
• Fielded 4 training systems to USACMLS.
• Procured platforms to support third BIDS Co. (13th Chemical Co.)
FY01 Objectives:
• Procure P3I long lead items to support third BIDS Co. (13th Chemical Co.)
FY02 Objectives:
• Procure long lead items to support upgrade of 310th Chem Co. from BIDS NDI to P3I (–).
• Produce BIDS P3I detection systems to support 13th Chem Co. activation.
