Chemical agents & TICs

For  military forces, the threat of chemical weapons has existed for decades and can radically affect operations, particularly on land and sea. That threat is increasingly spreading to the civilian population. The ability to detect an attack by chemical agents or toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), rapidly, is therefore vital to protect those in the front line and the public at large.

We also supply advanced technology products that provide answers for emergency response and law enforcement teams, when they require rapid identification of unknown substances.

Our continuous vapour sampling (point detection) products and systems has a range of applications, from the battlefield to commercial buildings, continuously monitoring the atmosphere for the presence of harmful chemical agents or TICs. [more]

Many of our portable vapour sampling (including hand-held) products demonstrate our expertise in miniaturising sensors for personal protection and ease-of-use, whether for continuous sampling, or confirmation checks in applications such as decontamination. [more]

For identification of chemicals in solid & liquid form, we supply rugged and lightweight equipment, designed for emergency response teams who are called upon to deal with potentially dangerous or toxic substances. The Smiths Detection suite of products helps to distinguish between dangerous and innocent substances, quickly and safely. [more]
