        SUBJECT: Chemically/Biologically Protected Shelter (CBPS)

        PURPOSE:   To provide information on the CBPS candidate for
        potential surge.

        FACTS.,


        1. Capabilities:

            a. HMMWV mounted NBC/environmental support system and
        inflatable support system.

            b. Designed to be erected/struck 270 times( 30, 3 day
        missions, 3 times/day ) with erection time of less than 20
        mi nlttes.


            C. Used primarily by Division level medical units for
        treatment of casualties in a chemical/biological environment.

            d. Provides 34 hours protection in a contaminated
        environment. 72 hour mission profile.

            e. Stand alone shelter requiring no additional interior
        support.

        2. Dimensions: 300 sq +t of interior space.

        3. System is air transportable.

        4. Program is in 6.3B development. Full ROC approval is
        expected at the end of October which will allow the program to
        transition to 6.4.

            a. BOI, 2 per Battalion Aid Station (BAS), 4 per Med Co
        (Div), 4 per clearing platoon Med Co Clr.
            b. Estimated Army requiremnts for Desert Shield: 400.
            C. Cost per system: $160,000. This includes the HMMWV,
        shelter, power generation unit, environmental control unit, high
