DTRA RD-CB in support of the CPE CBRND seeks to develop 3-Dimensional Materials for Agnostic seNsing (3D MAN) technologies that shall provide a self-indicating response (e.g., colorimetric, optical, electrical, etc. responses) to alert the end user of the presence of chemical and biological (CB) threats, such as Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs), Pharmaceutical Based Agents (PBAs), Rioting Control Agents (RCAs), and/or Toxins. This capability aims to meet the needs of the General Forces by providing integrated early warning detection, reducing false alarm rates, and increasing ease of use. The currently deployed eye-readable, colorimetric-based M8 and M9 technologies were developed decades ago and are available for usage to all military personnel.
Responding to this opportunity requires membership in the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Consortium. This Consortium releases numerous solicitations throughout the year, so even if this opportunity may not end up being right for you, we strongly encourage you to join, so you are ready for the next opportunity.
