DTAPS® Background

 The Disposable Toxicological Agent Protective System (DTAPS®) is a family of fully integrated, tested, and modular personal protection equipment designed for the civilian and military first responder. The systems use the latest techniques for sealing, proven materials, and customized breathing systems to ensure that the user is fully protected. Our design eliminates the need for costly integration of suits, masks, gloves, and boots, and totally eliminates use of "duct tape" or "chem tape" - making the system safer, more reliable, and tailorable to your needs. The DTAPS® family of personal protective equipment provides the solution to the problem of integrating a wide variety of components into a truly workable, safe and effective system.

DTAPS® was developed for the Government by GEOMET Technologies, LLC under a contract with the Technical Support Working Group (TSWG).  TSWG was established as the technology development component of a Federal interagency group on countering terrorism.  TSWG is composed of various Executive Branch agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice.

The Department of Defense is responsible for TSWG program management.  DoD manages and executes the TSWG program through the Combating Terrorism Technology Support Office.  DTAPS® was developed under the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear countermeasures subgroup of TSWG under contract number DAAD05-98-C-0012.
