                          INFORMATION PAPER


       SUBJECT: Chemically-Biologically (CB) Hardening of Hospitals

       PURPOSE: To provide information on the requirements for the CB
       Protected Rigid Wall Shelter and the hardening of the ECU C-100.

       1. The XM28 system has been approved for surge to provide CB
       protection to TEMPER tents within DEPMEDS   The XM28 does not
       provide environmental control or protection for rigid wall ISO
       shelters also used in DEPMEDS (surgeries, X-RAY, etc.).

       2.  Hardening of the ISO shelter will require the following:
           a. Chemically resistant, decontaminable gaskets: $5,000 ea.
           b. Hardened ECU C-IOC). $12,000 ea.
           C:. M2C) Filter Blower: $2,OOC) ea.

       3.  Estimated Army requirements for hardening of the ISO shelters
       are 92 systems at $19.OC,O ea totaling $1,748,OC)C). RDT&E required
       to complete $5::.OK. Total $ required +or ISO hardening-
       $2, 276, C)OC).

       4. Hardening of the ISO shelter's will allow critical surgeries
       to be performed in a chemically-biologically contaminated
       environment if necessary and protect sensitive medical equipment
       that cannot be decontaminated.


       5. CB hardening of 254 ECU C-100's for the XM28 will cost
       $2,688,OC)O ($12,0t)O ea).

       6. Total funding requirements: $4,966,000
