Biologies integrated plans

BIDS The Biological Integrated Detection System (BIDS) is a vehicle-based collection of components with upgrade capacity. Integration into JBPDS is planned toward fully automated, broad-spectrum biological detection and identification.a Tens of units were produced for the Chemical Company. 

Recommendation 1 The Transportation Security Administration, with its responsibility for the federal oversight of security operations at U.S. airports, should integrate strategies for defense against chemical/biological attacks into its broader security plan for protecting the U.S. air transportation system. The line of authority and... 

BAWS The bio-aerosol warning sensor (BAWS) is an ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence detector using laser illumination. BAWS units are planned to be integrated into the joint biological point detection system (JBPDS) as a trigger for the presence of a 1- to 10-micron-sized biological particle. 

Operational responses. An overall concept of operations is an integral and necessary part of planning and preparation because inappropriate response actions can increase the hazard to occupants or missions. Operational responses could include active HVAC responses, shelter-in-place,3 use of personal protective equipment, or evacuation. Developing and practicing operational responses will maximize protection from biological and chemical threats.
