Military
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.
