STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

PROJECT TITLE: CBRN Sensor Integration on Robotic Platforms (CSIRP) Capability Set 4.0 – Expanded CBRN Detection and Autonomy

BACKGROUND: The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND), Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Sensors (JPM CBRN Sensors) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Sensor Integration on Robotics Platforms (CSIRP) seeks the engineering and integration of payloads with ability to detect and identify additional threats and perform sample collection for use on unmanned air, ground, and water-borne surface platforms. These payloads should transmit CBRN data through a common operating picture giving warfighters the ability to integrate CBRN expertise and knowledge into all echelons, providing situational awareness in mounted and dismounted configurations enabling decisions in austere environments.

The objective of this prototyping effort is to further explore the employment of current and future CBRN sensors on service-relevant unmanned aircraft system (UAS), unmanned ground system (UGS), and unmanned surface vessel (USV) platforms across several missions prioritized by the Department of Defense user community. These efforts are focused on demonstrating integrated CBRN robotics capabilities to inform requirements and concepts of operation (CONOPS) and understand the capabilities and limitations of the completed efforts.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: This project intends to facilitate the integration of CBRN sensors on unmanned systems to enhance the ability to detect and identify additional threats through a common operating picture and to perform sample collection when needed in CBRN contested environments. The SOO covers the engineering and repackaging, integration (hardware and software), and testing to support future employment. Service input was provided from the following:

United States Army (USA); Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCOE); National Guard Bureau (NGB); United States Marine Corps (USMC); United States Navy (USN); United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM); and United States Air Force (USAF) Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) and Emergency Management/CBRN.

In addition to the Baseline Objective, responses may address one or more Secondary Objective areas

Baseline Objective: Expanded Detection and Autonomy Capabilities: Next generation handheld chemical detection and identification will be possible with the Compact Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (CVCAD) and the Proximate Chemical Agent Detector Non-Trace (PCAD NT).

• Replace legacy chemical sensors with more advanced and reduced SWAP sensing options on UGS and UAS platforms. Interfaces should be platform agnostic to allow for use on newer platforms without extensive adaptation.

• Integrate software for more advanced sensing solutions into a common command and control operating picture.

• Improve the ability of autonomous unmanned systems to perform CBRN missions such as hazard detection, source localization, and sample collection.

Secondary Objective 1: Biological Point Detection/Identification Payloads: Most biological detection relies on particle sizing and sample collection followed by sample processing in a lab for confirmation. New advances in biological hazard detection and identification technology have rendered those technologies smaller, lighter, and more viable on an unmanned platform. CSIRP seeks to integrate mature sensors to detect and identify potential biological hazards as well as collect samples for confirmatory analysis.

• Produce a more accurate biological detection and identification sensor that can do sample collection and provide real time confirmation of hazard in the battlefield.

• Integrate novel reduced-size, weight, and power (SWAP) Biological detection, identification, and sample collection system(s) onto UASs, UGSs, and USVs.

Secondary Objective 2: Microsensor Payloads: Soldiers will deploy CBRN Microsensors (C-MS) throughout the operating environment from a remote and/or stand-off location to provide continuous detection and identification of CBRN threats.

• CSIRP is looking to integrate C-MS payloads and employment mechanisms onto various UAS and UGS.

• Achieve integrated layered defense through deployment of remote sensing solutions for CBRN detection and identification.

Secondary Objective 3: Command and Control Integration: The ability to make informed, fast decisions on the battlefield is critical for warfighters’ maneuverability, operations and survivability.

CSIRP seeks to have sensors data integrated into communication networks that create decision support tools that provide the warfighter with information at their fingertips. CSIRP seeks to seamlessly incorporate various sensor technologies into one operating picture. Systems and capabilities communicating with each other and working together to provide situational understanding will get actionable information to the joint force faster.

• Integrate current chemical and radiological sensors along with a biological identification sensor, CVCAD, and PCAD NT, into an automated CBRN hazard warning and reporting common user interface and unified software solution. Interfaces should be platform agnostic to allow for use on newer platforms without extensive adaptation. This may include Army and Joint networks with command and control systems such as Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and CBRN Support to Command and Control (CSC2).

• Provide integrated situational awareness and real time understanding on potential CBRN hazards to inform decision making with next generation warning reporting and advanced hazard prediction and decision support tools.

• Give access to CBRN data and information collected during a mission to be shared in one holistic picture through a set of networked sensors.

• Ensure CSIRP integrated sensors have the ability to be plugged into service specific computing environments providing continuous CBRN defense capability to the joint force through a unified software solution.

• Provide CBRN layered defense through integration of newer sensor technologies, real time classification of data through common interfaces and data sharing displays. Interfaces should be platform agnostic to allow for use on newer platforms without extensive adaptation.
