ECBC supported an exercise at the Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) Maneuver Support Battle Lab at Fort Leonard Wood last month designed to address maneuver support issues of the future force. For the two-week event, ECBC supplied its CB Simulation Suite software tool created in cooperation with ITT Corp. This modeling tool includes simulations of the detector, sensor, and tactical messaging systems that the Services have developed to detect and operate in contaminated environments. - ECBC and scientists from the US Army Corps of Engineers Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS, and the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, NH are studying the use of microbially produced polymers for airfield soil stabilization.
ECBC and scientists from the US Army Corps of Engineers Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS, and the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, NH are studying the use of microbially produced polymers for airfield soil stabilization. Originally funded by the Corps, the project was recently approved for continuation as part of the Corps’ 6.1 program. Up to four jointly-developed papers are in preparation for submission to peer-reviewed journals, and two patent disclosures have been drafted. - Konstantin Preobrazhensky, a former KGB officer who defected to the United States in 2003, presented a lecture on "Russian Intelligence Activities in the U.S." at ECBC last week.
Konstantin Preobrazhensky, a former KGB officer who defected to the United States in 2003, presented a lecture on "Russian Intelligence Activities in the U.S." at ECBC last week. His lecture shed new light on the Russian intelligence gathering taking place now in the US. The lecture was attended by all the chemical and biological defense organizations at Edgewood, to include 20th Support Command, MRICD and Chemical Materials Agency. This lecture was the last in a series of lectures sponsored by ECBC this year in commemoration of its 90th Anniversary. - An Interagency Agreement was signed recently between ECBC and the Department of State Verification, Compliance and Implementation Bureau.
An Interagency Agreement was signed recently between ECBC and the Department of State Verification, Compliance and Implementation Bureau. Under this agreement, ECBC will provide consolidation and critical analysis of information on chemical and biological threat agent formulation and enhancement technologies. - Last week the ECBC Training Team conducted a one-week CBR Deployment Training session for the 110th Chemical Battalion (TE) at Ft. Lewis Washington.
Last week the ECBC Training Team conducted a one-week CBR Deployment Training session for the 110th Chemical Battalion (TE) at Ft. Lewis Washington. The course included classroom lectures and a number of practical exercises and was one of a number of such courses presented to 20th Support Command personnel over the last several months.
