2 Introductions Transport Isolation System Support Team Maj Scott King, 628 AMDS Bioenvironmental Eng SSgt Adam Ruiz, 628 AMDS Bioenvironmental Eng SSgt Aaron de l Etoile, 628 MDG Biomedical Equipment SrA Brandon Lane, 628 AMDS Bioenvironmental Eng Joint Biological Agent Decontamination System (JBADS) Mr. Larry Magnuson, HQ AMC/A3NP Treaties and CWMD Branch

3 Briefing Purpose Thesis Statement (BLUF) The TIS, THADS, and JBADS programs are rapidly emerging Air Mobility capabilities which have resulted in numerous total force, joint, international, and industry partnerships through systems and missions development. Actionable Takeaways Familiarize Air Mobility personnel with an overview of the TIS, THADS, and JBADS; understand how personnel develop and deploy these systems to enhance rapid global mobility capabilities.

4 TIS Mission Overview September 2014 POTUS announces the Ebola outbreak in West Africa poses a threat to global security; expands U.S. role USAFRICOM identifies the need to move Ebola-exposed patients out of theater to receive care in CONUS USTRANSCOM tasks AMC to develop a plan JUONS initiated for the creation of the TIS January 2015 USTRANSCOM accepts the TIS post-production

11 THADS TIS Hot, Humid Air Decontamination System (THADS) Support System to the TIS Heat and humidity Tested via Operational Utility Evaluation (OUE)

12 Development & Testing Product Development Input on development through 2 TIS versions TIS OUE Developed/Tested/Evaluated CONOPS; Exercised configuration, loading/unloading, decontamination using C-130 and C-17 aircraft THADS OUE Proved hot/humid air suitability for TIS decontamination 120-hour test using anthrax simulant MOBILITY SOLACE First operational exercise w/ a simulated patient Tested CONOPS from TIS prep to final decontamination

13 Public Showings/Displays Local / National / International Attention Local DV Tours [JB Charleston, SC] USA Science & Engineering Festival [Washington D.C.] Aerospace Medicine Summit; NATO Science & Technology Org Tech Course [Ramstein AB, Germany] 2016 FIDAE Air & Space Trade Show [Santiago, Chile]

14 Logistics & Support Coordinate storage; 10 TIS units at JB Charleston Hangar and warehouse Contingency plans Arrange transport and use of THADS Storage Power/water requirement Refurbishment kits

15 Challenges 2-TIS Configuration Decontamination Process

16 JBADS Joint Biological Agent Decontamination System (JBADS)

17 Requirement for Decontamination of Aircraft JP 3-40, Countering WMD 31 Oct 14, Appendix B Page 8 No state aircraft may fly over, or land on, the foreign territory of a nation without prior diplomatic clearance. A state may deny access to its national airspace to aircraft contaminated by [weapons of mass destruction] WMD Without aircraft decontamination capability any service with long range aircraft may be limited in its wartime mission 4 Star Priority USTRANSCOM, USSOCOM, USTRATSCOM, Air Mobility Command

18 Levels of Decontamination Immediate to Save Lives Operational to Minimize Contact Thorough to Permit the Partial or Total Removal of Individual Protective Equipment Clearance to Allow Unrestricted Transportation (Goal)

19 Approved Decon Exterior Solutions Air Washing Weathering Marginally Effective Hot Soapy Water

20 Solution Without Chemicals Combine.Heat + Humidity + Time Maximum Storage Temp Aircraft 185 High Temperature 180 Desired Temperature optimum 170 Low Anthrax Killing Temp 150 Desired Humidity 90% Hours Result % Reduction (Log 6)

22 JBADS SPIN OFF AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

23 Mold Removal AFRL - AFRC - INDUSTRY AFRC Peterson AFB C-130 (#7315) 150 F/50% RH for 12 Hours (Internal) Initial Report by AFRL, Dr. Goodson: All sites that were sampled had zero growth postdecon with one exception. The area near the microwave still had 10 cells, but well within accepted limits RTB 28 Jul, Draft - No Maintenance Problem Aircraft Fire Fighting in California on 3 Aug

24 Microbial Influenced Corrosion AFRL USA USN - AMC - AFRC AFRL: Corrosion is a $5B Problem for Air Force Aircraft; $1B of that May be Caused by MIC MIC are Microbes that Emit Chemicals on Fuselage Surfaces and Within Fuel Cells Microbes also killed by JBADS Aircraft Sampled for Microbes: 10 C-130s 3 MH-53s 2 C-5 Compartments Now looking at Ground Fuel Tanks, and KC-135 Fuel systems Potential Cost Savings on Corrosion Control Tests on going on effect of 150 F/50% RH for 12 Hours
