CEDAP Phase III (July, 2006)
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Grants & Training (OGT) formerly the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness (SLGCP) is providing equipment to smaller agencies through a new and innovative pilot program.

In May 2006, AristaTek in conjunction with Davis Defense Group (DDG) located in Quantico, VA submitted a proposal to the Electronic Proving Grounds Special Programs Office, Fort Huachuca, AZ that acted as the contracting agency for DHS’s CEDAP. The proposal was reviewed, evaluated, and was accepted as one of many products to make a presentation to the DHS “subject matter experts” in Orlando on June 21, 2006. On July 18, 2006, Davis Defense Group and AristaTek were notified of acceptance by DHS to the CEDAP Phase III. The PEAC-WMD software bundled with hardware will be one of the products available in the CEDAP catalog, which is to be available for examination on the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB) http://www.rkb.mipt.org/ on August 1, 2006 when applications will be accepted.
