Smiths Detection is a world leader in products and systems to detect and identify threats to our freedom, safeguarding society against terrorism and criminality and protecting the armed forces who defend us. Its technologies detect chemical and biological warfare agents, explosives and narcotics, including powerful X-ray imaging technologies to identify weapons and illegal goods.
Smiths Detection takes science out of the laboratory and puts it in the hands of security professionals. Its technologies are built into products that safeguard those in the front line and the public at large; protecting buildings and transport systems; screening everything from a ticket to a truck.
The products and systems are designed for the real world and are based on a deep understanding of the real operational environment faced by security and military professionals. An increasing activity for Smiths Detection is taking individual products and integrating them to form complete security solutions, including networking, customised to individual requirements.
Smiths Detection is one of three operating divisions of Smiths Group, a global technology company listed on the London Stock Exchange. Smiths employs more than 20,000 people in over 50 countries.
Over a period of more than 50 years, Smiths Detection has developed a partnership with the Military that has provided a clear insight into the requirements of armed forces and the application of smart science on the battlefield. The principal threat comes from potentially lethal chemical and biological warfare agents.
The development of advanced integrated sensing technologies has encouraged significant miniaturisation, resulting in highly sensitive personal protection devices. Development of proprietary chip technology will take miniaturisation onto new levels.
In a life-and-death situation, the ease of use and minimal incidence of false detection alarms is almost as important as the detection capabilities of a device. Smiths Detection products have achieved the highest level of confidence in battlefield and security situations. More than 130,000 chemical agent detectors have been supplied to military forces worldwide.
Principal products and systems
Personal protection
Safeguard personnel by equipping them with lightweight chemical agent detectors giving immediate warning of contaminated areas or changes in conditions away from the fixed sensors.
Lightweight Chemical Detector (LCD) - Small, lightweight, continuous, real-time detector of CW agents and toxic chemicals.
Decontamination
Assess effectiveness of the decontamination process on personnel, vehicles and aircraft to check for residual traces of chemical agents.
CAM
Hand-held detection of nerve, blood, blister and choking agents
Chemical point detection
Continuously check high-threat areas for attacks, to provide early
warning, linked to command & control centre. On vehicles in operational
or reconnaissance roles detect chemical agents in the vehicle or sample
the external atmosphere.
GID-M
Manportable, flexible detector capable of operating on the
battlefield or in fixed role in COLPRO environment. Reprogrammable
detection suite to combat changing threat
GID-3 (US DoD ACADA)
Designed to facilitate versatility. Satisfies many roles with
different variants and system configurations. Indicates the
presence of nerve, blood, blister & choking agents and level of threat.
Biological detection
Continuously monitor the air to detect and identify specific biological warfare agents in near real-time. Fully capable detection suite should be built into manned systems equipped for extended battlefield use that also include chemical agent detection, NBC filtration and environmental control, radio communications, surveillance cameras etc. Also, an on-demand, portable system that identifies specific biological agents.
SmartBio Sensor
Portable system for real-time detection of bioagents in air
Bio-Seeq PLUS
Handheld, fully field portable PCR identifier to detect bacterial and
viral pathogens in 40 minutes
Biological Detection System
A series of complementary detectors
operating to detect and identify specific agents with confidence, in
near real-time.
Protective shelters
Self contained collective protection system that provides a contamination free, environmentally controlled working area for medical, combat services, and combat service support personnel to work freely without continuously wearing chemical-biological protective clothing. Unique systems that combine sensors and technologies, integrating multiple levels of chemical-biological security in order to protect troops.
CBPS-M4A
400 square feet working area; designed for easy maintainability
Meteorological systems
Complete, integrated upper atmospheric measuring system that is used to increase the accuracy of field artillery.
Meteorological Measuring Set-Profiler
MET Data Every 30 Minutes. High accuracy/Increased Range
Base & perimeter protection
Portable surveillance and detection systems that providing perimeter protection for military forces, giving early warning of chemical warfare agents. To protect personnel on the base, main entrance security needs to include x-ray equipment to check for weapons or illegal items in baggage, plus explosives trace detection equipment.
