DESCRIPTION
The ALS MWO integrates a common suite of commercial- and government-off-the-shelf components onto a user-specific platform. The system will provide field confirmatory analysis to support identification of chemical and biological materials in environmental samples. Information produced by the system will assist decision-makers with managing and/or mitigating the effects of a CBRN attack or disaster. This effort addresses immediate readiness and safety issues resulting from system obsolescence.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGTHER
The ALS MWO addresses ALS Increment 1 obsolescence issues and will optimize the Warfighter’s ability to analyze data by providing enhanced human factors and engineering controls; a larger shelter and work space; upgraded software; larger databases to help identify unknowns, and improved process flow integration.
PROGRAM STATUS
Currently in fielding (National Guard Bureau Civil Support Teams, US Army Reserve Civil Support Team, and the US Marine Corps’ Chemical Biological Incident Response Force)
