Smiths Detection has recently unveiled HazMatID Elite. This is a unique toxic industrials, explosives, chemical warfare agents, and narcotics identifier that has been validated to the stringent military standard for deployment in extreme environments.
The Elite is an upgrade of Smiths Detection’s HazMatID, which has been a widely-deployed field-portable Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) solid and liquid identifier. The Elite has 10x smaller size and 4x lighter weight when compared to the original. Based on innovative sampling techniques, it can identify and verify susceptible powders as well as direct surface contaminant examination and robotics integration.
According to the President of Smiths Detection, Mal Maginnis, being a unique chemical identifier that delivers actionable data and simple chemical analysis tools, HazMatID Elite promotes small and ruggedized FT-IR field technology. By integrating with dynamic customer service and support of Smiths Detection, it supports first responders and military personnel for achieving more secure and efficient worldwide critical missions.
The improved functionality of HazMatID Elite features self-guided software, an intuitive interface and also an encrypted wireless communications for down range operations. By learning to operate this system, personnel can have more efficient and resourceful usage than with related equipment.
Smiths Detection provides advanced security solutions in global civil and military markets. It designs and develops government-regulated technology products that enable detection of radiological and nuclear threats, explosives, chemical and biological agents, weapons and contraband, and narcotics.
