Description

The Joint Science & Technology Panel for Chemical Biological Defense Technology Base (tech base) is sponsoring a Technology Readiness Evaluation (TRE-02-1) for remote/stand-off biological detection technologies. The evaluation is scheduled for 15 July 2 August 2002 at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Equipment will need to arrive approximately one week prior to test commencement. Participating devices will be assessed for potential inclusion or transition into biological defense systems such as the Joint Biological Standoff Detection System (JBSDS). Each candidate will be designated a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) with respect to the JBSDS program. Standoff devices may be evaluated for their function in areas such as tracking, detection, discrimination, and mapping. Devices may perform more than one function. Although the intent of TRE-02-1 is to identify appropriate technology for our developmental/acquisition programs and system-upgrades, neither the JPO-BD nor the tech base are under any obligation to select any of the participating technologies. TRE-02-1 will offer developers an opportunity to obtain unique performance data that can be used in their development work regardless of the TRL that they demonstrate. To be responsive to this announcement and receive a copy of the entrance criteria package, developers/sponsors must supply the following in electronic form (CD-ROM or zip disk) to P.O. Box 1729, Falls Church, VA 22041-3203 no later than close of business 31 December 2001: A description of their device to include its capabilities, technology employed, and physical characteristics; all relevant test reports; a historical synopsis of the development; a photograph of the device. For mailing information or if there are questions concerning this memorandum, please call 703.681.9600.
