Mobile Chemical Agent Detector
The MCAD detects chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals within a 5 kilometer radius, giving operators true standoff capability. The detector unit is low power, untraceable at a distance, and eye safe. Designed to aid military and civilian first responders in locating, identifying and warning of chemical-agent threats, the systems can be installed at fixed sites or adapted for vehicular use. Standoff detection provides the soldier and civilian first responder with an important capability, recognizing there has been a potential chemical agent release in time to take responsive action to protect themselves and others. Successful testing on land, air, and seaborne platforms is a testimony to its ruggedness and well established technology.
