           SUBJECT:   Potential Surge for Chemical Biological Protection
           Shelter


           1.                       : The Surgeon General has projected that in
           order to sustain treatment of casualties in a
           chemicallv/biolociically contaminated environment in the current
           theater 49 CBPS would be required(based on current number of
           deployed forces).

                                  us                   FMS             TOTAL

           2.   (U) Inventory: Current CBPS inventory is as follows-.

                (U)


                a. (U) Current Program.

                     (1). (U) The CBPS consists of an inflatable shelter and
           HMMWV mounted NBC/environmental support system. The program is
           entering full-scale development in 1OFY91. The CBPS shelter
           design is mature. Engineering development testing ( including
           chemical siml(lant testing ) has shown the shelter to be a
           significant improvement over its predecessor, the M51 Shelter
           System. The      environmental support system design is still in
           progress and     preliminary testing will be completed in March 1991.

                b.   (U)    Surge Data:


                     (1).   @     MAX Surge Rate: 20 per month

                     (2).   @     Achieved by:

                     (3).   @     Shifts- At full capacity will operate at
           2-8-7


sumptions:          Production costs are based on a
           requirement for 400 items. The unit cost is anticipated to be
           $160,000.

           4. (U) Limiting +actors: The most expeditious means to procure
           the CBPS is to award sole-source contract modifications to the
           current shelter and power system fabricators. A complete
           technical data package for the system is not yet available so a
           competitively awarded contract would not be possible.

           5. (U) Testing/Safety implications- The risk for surging
           is considered low if the Current development contr@@..-,AE4r
           awarded the contract. Live agent testing of the system may
           recommended prior to system release.
