While efforts are in progress to improve the ability to detect and deter intruders at military installations, a separate set of programs is tackling how to detect and respond to an attack involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) or explosive agents.

“CBR is being done independently from a joint standpoint,” explains Lt. Col. Don Wussler, program manager for Force Protection Command and Control Systems at the Air Force Electronic Systems Command at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass.

“We're obviously going to work with the Guardian program office, for example, so they understand what we are putting into place and that what they and we are doing will all work with a single C2 station on the base.”

Guardian is a five-year, billion-dollar joint program to provide an integrated medical and nonmedical CBRN protection and response capability to 200 critical U.S. military bases (185 in the continental U.S. and 15 overseas). The system will consist of detection, identification, warning, information management, installation restoration and capabilities for medical response, surveillance and diagnostics in the event of an attack.

A similar effort under the management of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Chemical-Biological Defense Directorate in Alexandria, Va., is the Joint Service Installation Pilot Program (JSIPP), designed to enhance emergency response capabilities for CBRNE events.

Under the two-year program, nine U.S. military installations (three each from the Air Force and Army, two from the Navy, and one Marine) will receive federal money for training and equipping base emergency responders as well as integration of chemical and biological detection systems into their emergency operations centers. It also will involve refining concepts of operation (CONOPS)
