TRAINING

CBRNE:  These training courses are hands-on instructional modules in antiterrorism and counterterrorism, interdiction and analysis of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive materials, and hazardous materials incident response operations.  Curricula are custom modified to the mission of the participants.  Other subjects include nonproliferation, OPSEC, and forensics.  Participants of training courses receive a printed participant guide and job aide specific to the course content and participant mission.  Classroom training can be conducted at the customer’s site or coordinated in an independent location by JTL.

Field Training Exercises (FTX):  JTL conducts FTX for civilian, military, and private response organizations related to the CBRNE training courses.  FTX are also designed to assist groups in practical development of standard operating procedures.  FTX can be conducted in any type of venue requested and funded by the customer.  JTL will coordinate role players, site set-up, and use of props.  Some chemicals, biological materials, radiological sources, and simulants are also available for training use.

Team Building:  Team building courses are classroom, hands-on, and field training instructional modules with the specific purpose of integrating members of a team.  Interdependent, mission-focused, results-oriented team building is the purpose of this type of training. Instructional modules are customized to the specific needs of the participants.  Training is conducted at the customer’s site or coordinated in an independent location by JTL.

Professional Development:  JTL provides professional development instruction following an advanced adult-learning model. Training courses are delivered to improve the professional skills and advance the expertise of participants in any field.  Instruction will be given from existing curricula provided by the customer or a new curriculum may be developed by JTL for specific customer requests.   


TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC SERVICES

Explosives:  JTL offers blasting technicians and energetic materials specialists to conduct operations providing explosives support and scientific analysis for government and non-government entities in chemical energetics. Primarily, this work is in planning and executing experiments to model and analyze improvised explosive devices and home made explosives for developing countermeasures for domestic security applications and threats from overseas.  JTL also provides explosives workshops and training courses that include topics like safety, interdiction, chemistry, detection, and analysis.

Test Management:  JTL designs, manages, and executes Test and Evaluation (T&E) projects of sensors, detectors, monitoring systems, personal protection equipment, defensive technology, and decontamination methods for chemical and biological weapons defense and non-proliferation. T&E projects can be conducted at the customer’s site or coordinated in an independent location by JTL.  JTL has working relationships with the West Desert Test Center, Joint Operational Testing and Training Division at Dugway Proving Ground and the Non-Proliferation Test and Evaluation Complex at the Nevada Test Site.

Data Analysis:  Data generated from T&E projects conducted by JTL, the customer, or an independent testing agency which are analyzed and processed by JTL generate data analysis reports that provide useful information for interpretation of data and data quality assessment.

Laboratory/Field Support:  JTL supports laboratory and field operations for research, development, and operational or developmental testing by providing subject matter expertise in data collection, sample collection, sample analysis, and analytical instrumentation.


 CONSULTING

Antiterrorism/Counterterrorism:  JTL serves government, commercial, and private entities in combating terrorism by advising on antiterrorism and counterterrorism issues.  This includes developing standard operating procedures for terrorism response, conducting critical infrastructure and operations analysis, and performing threat and vulnerability assessments where state law permits.

Disaster Preparedness:  JTL assists customers in developing plans and procedures to establish continuity of operations in the event of a natural disaster, terrorist attack, major accident, or customer-specific hazard.  

Project Management:  Short-term projects or contracts managed by JTL are handled using generally accepted project management knowledge and practices.  JTL improves management control of project phases by following the project life cycle described by the Project Management Institute.

SPECIAL TECHNOLOGIES LABORATORY & ADVANCED MONITORING SYSTEMS INITIATIVE SUPPORT

NON-PROLIFERATION

JESSE TAYLOR LTD developed detection and analysis methods for a ruggedized, portable, chemical detection system intended for monitoring chemical dispersion experiments at a remote testing facility.  However, the instrument did not make it to a test and evaluation campaign-the new methods and modifications qualified the instrument for world-wide deployment status to be used in global WMD non-proliferation missions.  JTL is pleased to have made this significant contribution to the fight against terrorists and their weapons!
