<strong>Joint</strong> <strong>Biological</strong> Remote Early Warning System (JBREWS)<br />

Objective: To evaluate the utility of an early warning capability that allows a compressed decision cycle to warn, report and<br />

protect deployed forces employing a system of distributive BW agent sensors.<br />

Components include the JBREWS architecture, the Deployable Unit <strong>Biological</strong> Detection System (DUBDS), the<br />

Short Range-<strong>Biological</strong> Standoff Detection System (SR-BSDS), and the data link from legacy biological detection<br />

systems.<br />

Sponsor: EUCOM<br />

ACTD Scenario: BW missile attacks on ground maneuver force in an assembly area<br />

Status: Completed in FY00<br />

<strong>Chemical</strong> and <strong>Biological</strong> Individual Sampler (CBIS)<br />

Objective: Improved detection and identification capabilities will provide greater awareness of immediate chemical<br />

exposure risk.<br />

More precise identification of both short- or long-term and low-level doses resulting in improved situational<br />

awareness, treatment and record keeping.<br />

Additional payoffs will include ability to perform realtime analysis of agents and toxic industrial materials (TIMs),<br />

communication of exposure information to command centers, and increased battlefield awareness and<br />

intelligence.<br />

Sponsor: <strong>Joint</strong> Forces Command<br />

ACTD Scenario: TBD<br />

Status: The CBIS Phase I effort (COTS passive chemical sampling only) has been initiated with live agent testing of four<br />

COTS samplers and analysis of available portable analytical equipment. The CBIS Blue Ribbon Panel has selected<br />

technically promising Phase II proposals. Phase II efforts employ emerging technologies for active chemical and<br />

biological samplers/analyzers.<br />

Restoration of Operations at Fixed Sites (RestOps)<br />

Objective: Integrate and demonstrate mature technologies and tools used to mitigate adverse effects and restore operations at<br />

a fixed site before, during, or after an attack of either CW or BW, in order to support operational war plans.<br />

Develop, improve, and integrate concepts of operations (CONOPS) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)<br />

for executing RestOps contingencies at a fixed site.<br />

Capture lessons learned for incorporation into joint, multiservice, and service doctrinal institutions.<br />

Evaluate the science and technologies available to support identification of potential improvements in current U.S.<br />

policy for CONUS and OCONUS RestOps scenarios.<br />

Sponsor: PACOM<br />

ACTD Scenario: <strong>Chemical</strong> or biological attack on an airfield or seaport.<br />

Status: ACTD management coordination and stand-up completed in FY00. Initial technology evaluations conducted and<br />

preliminary testing conducted in FY01. Preliminary technology demonstration to be conducted in FY02.<br />
