Business Wire
Bruker Detection Corporation today announced that it has been
awarded a contract for ten (10) first article test and verification
units for the Improved Point Detection System (IPDS) replacement
program of the United States Navy, based on Bruker�s
RAID�-S2 shipboard chemical detector. The award includes ten
units and certain engineering modifications, with a total contract
amount greater than one million dollars.
Bruker�s RAID-S2 is a gas trace detector for the
detection of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial
chemicals (TICs). It is based on advanced high-performance ion
mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology. The RAID-S2 is
specifically designed for long-term monitoring of ambient air for
the presence of hazardous chemical vapors in the interior or
exterior of ships, buildings or shelters.
Mr. Frank Thibodeau, Vice President of Bruker Detection
Corporation, commented: �The IPDS evaluation program consisted of a
challenging competitive testing regime under demanding environments
which pushed the limits of chemical point detection systems. The
RAID-S2 performed very well in these evaluation trials and
has been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense for final test
and validation of production units. We are delighted to have been
selected for the IPDS program by the US Navy, and believe that
Bruker�s robust and proven RAID� IMS technology, unsurpassed
detection capability, and proprietary industry-leading false-alarm
suppression have led to this contract award. These technological
features are also built into our industry-leading RAID�-M
handheld detector, RAID�-XP portable combined chemical and
gamma radiation detector, as well as our RAID�-AFM
Autonomous Facility Monitor for critical
building and infrastructure protection, which has been developed
under a separate Department of Homeland Security development
contract.�
