1. DOD Non- Standard Equipment Review Panel(NSERP) Briefing to the NCMA Chapter Meeting 17 February 2005 Michael T. Brown Dir, Business Development Advanced Technology Programs http://www.acq.osd.mil/cp

2. Chemical and Biological Defense Expanding Roles and Missions Infrastructure Power Projection Battle Space “Threats” “Classic” CBW Bio-Engineered And “Non-Traditional” Threats Environmental Threats- TICs/TIMs Environmental/ Medical Surveillance Infectious Diseases Capabilities Based, Not Threat Based

3. 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

4. Public Law 103-160(NDA Act for Fiscal Year 1994*) • “The Secretary of Defense shall . . . Assign responsibility for overall coordination and integration of the chemical and biological warfare defense program and the chemical and biological medical defense program to a single office within the Secretary of Defense. . . . Exercise oversight over the chemical and biological defense program through the Defense Acquisition Board process. . . .” • “The Secretary of Defense shall designate the Army as executive agent for the Department of Defense to coordinate and integrate research, development, test, and evaluation, and acquisition requirements of the military departments for chemical and biological warfare defense programs of the Department of Defense.” *This section of PL 103-160 is now 50 USC 1522

5. Public Law 103-160(NDA Act for Fiscal Year 1994) • “The budget for the Department of Defense for each fiscal year after fiscal year 1994 shall reflect a coordinated and integrated chemical and biological defense program for the military departments.” • “Funding requests for the program shall be set forth in the budget . . . with a single program element for each of the categories of research, development, test, and evaluation, acquisition, and military construction . . . . Funding requests for the program may not be included in the budget accounts of the military departments.”

7. 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

8. 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

9. Flow Chart of CBRN Defense Capabilities for HLD Joint Requirements Office T&E MUA Combat Procure and Field YES Warfighting ? HLD CBRN Defense Needed HLD Procure and Use Standard Met NO YES Standard Exists ? DOD NSERP Process NO

10. NSERP Process Panel Audit Industry More Info/ Data DOD/ Mil JPEO Decision Analysis Requirement Panel Review Joint Staff Panel Recommendation

11. NSERP Participants • Panel • JPEO CBRN Defense • JSTO- DTRA • JRO • OSD • JSTO Related Actions • Review previous purchases • Independent test data exists • Test/ validate previous purchases Cytokine cascade

12. Military Service Responsibility • Define needs/ CONOPS and Operational Environment • Submit Request containing: • Need/ CONOPS/ Environment • Performance (Standard required) • Safety of Use data • Test methods • Tech and operational test data • Independent testing…paid by user • Plan for Training, sustainment and logistics (DOTMLPF)

13. Industry Responsibility • Support Military Selection of Capabilities • Provide Technical data and test results • Who tested • Test set up- data set valid • Assist in submittal package • Provide additional info as needed

14. NSER Panel Responsibilities • Do Tech review of proposal for user • Provide Service feedback • Provide assistance as requested- clarification • Recommend to JPEO for approval/ disapproval • Publish panel results • Equipment database established • Adjudication of request within 30 days

15. Military Service Benefits • Safe, effective and suitable capabilities- logistically sustainable and affordable • Beginning of centralized data base of approved capabilities • Focused process to procure Non-Standard Equipment for HLD • Synergy to support Department of Homeland Security to adopt National Standards

16. Joint Program Executive OfficerDecision • Addresses Specific buy- stated purpose and CONOPS • Does not change normal Military procurement requirements or processes • Does not authorize sole source procurement
