Building Protection Toolkit (BPTK)

A critical contributor to an effective immune building chemical biological protection architecture is a thorough analysis of the impact of a chemical biological attack upon the building and its occupants. The Building Protection Toolkit (BPTK), a component of DARPA's Immune Building program, provides CB attack analysis and CB protection architecture design capabilities. The goal is automation of the development of candidate CB protection architectures; analysis of the protective capabilities, CONOPS, and tactical responses; and reporting of the results as required protection system components, fraction of building exposed, casualty levels, and cost.
