Description:
The M20A1 is a lightweight, low cost system that provides Nuclear, Biological, Chemical(NBC) collective protection for existing structures. It consists of a large,cylindrical shaped Room Liner,
designed to be pressurized inside a room or building. A Support Kit contains a motor blower for pressurization and flexible air ducts to direct the air. A Hermetically Sealed Filter Canister (HSFC)
is provided to filter ambient air before it is ducted into the liner. A collapsible Protective Entrance (PE) attaches to the pressurized liner and serves as an airlock for personnel entry/exit. A
Recirculation Filter, located inside the Room Liner near the PE, provides an extra margin of agent filtration. The system comes with two packaged spare Room Liners. Room Liners can be
interconnected with an adapter to enlarge the protective area (with the addition of a Support Kit and HSFC per additional liner). A single packaged M20A1 SCPE system weighs about 500 lbs and
requires 40 cu. ft.
Justification:
FY08 Baseline: Procures 89 SCPE. Procurement will support deployed and deploying combat units.
FY08 Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) request: Procures 567 additional SCPE.
FY08 Global War on Terrorism Amendment funds the M20 A1 SCPE. The porgram provides a safe environment for command and control operations (CCO) and an area for releif from the
degrading effects of individual protective equipment. The SCPE will be used whenever a CB attack is imminent. The protective entrance, filter unit, liner and sealants will be used withing the
existing structures (room/basement). If not funded, Army systems needs will remain below 60% of the total force requirement.
FY08 Base Appropriation - $1.818 million
FY08 GWOT Request - $0
FY08 GWOT Cost Adjustment Request - $10.857 million
FY08 Total - $12.675 million
