The guided-missile destroyer USS Ross and the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln cruise in a formation in the Gulf of Oman in 2010. When Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division engineers installed the Joint Biological Point Detection System aboard USS Ross in September 2011, it became the 50th ship in the Fleet upgraded with near real time biological warfare agent detection, warning, identification and sample isolation capabilities. "The JBPDS system is a terrific upgrade to my ship's combat capability," said USS Ross commanding officer Cmdr. David Wickersham. "I can detect biological agents earlier and react sooner to keep the crew safe. JBPDS enables Ross to operate with increased confidence in regions threatened by biological agents."
