         SUBJECT:   Potential Surge for Chemical Biological Protection
         Shelter

         1.         Requirement: The Surgeon General has projected that in
         order to   sustain treatment of casualties in a
         chemically/biologically contaminated environment in the current
         theater 400 CBPS would be required(based on current number of
         deployed@orces).

                                 us                 FMS               TOTAL
                               400                     0                400


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

              CONUS Stocks         Theater Reserve          PM Held Reserve Total
              -     0                     0                        0                0

         3.   (U) Surge Capabilities:


              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 IQFY91. The CBPS shelter
         design is mature. Engineering development testing ( including
         chemical simulant 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
         2-9-7

                    (4).  @ Assumptions,          Production costs are based on a
         requirement +or 40C) items. The unit cost is anticipated to be
         $180,000.

editious 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/Sa+ety implications: The risk +or surging CBPS
         is considered low if the current development contractors are
         awarded the contract. Live agent testing of the system may be
         recommended prior to system release.
