We’re Attending CBRNe Summit Europe
Coming back to Central Europe, the two-day conference will discuss the new CBRNe threats being faced and the importance of sharing information and experiences to deal with potential threats. You will hear perspectives from both civil and military agencies from across Europe and North America. Participants will gain an understanding of national CBRNe capabilities and response procedures. In addition, CBRNe capabilities, first responder techniques and procedures, radiation safety, as well as other topics including CBRNe forensics and international cooperation will be discussed.
Visit Us at Stand 15
We’d love to meet with you and discuss how we can help you with trace-level chemical threats in the field in seconds.

Outclassing Emerging Threats with Emerging Technology: Novel Threats and Aerosols
Monday, 11 March
14:00 – 14:15
For the emergency responder, the threat landscape is diverse and continuously evolving. Fourth generation agents (FGAs aka Novichoks), pharmaceutical based agents (PBA), and other materials demonstrate that chemical warfare agents have continued to evolve since WWII. Following the use of FGAS in Salisbury, UK, the US Department of Health and Human Services published a safety awareness bulletin for on-scene responders, noting that the ability to detect FGAs was limited. Pharmaceutical based agents, such as those used in the Moscow Theater Crisis (2002) demonstrate the effectiveness of highly toxic synthetic materials being dispersed as an aerosol—a threat which legacy CW equipment can’t monitor or detect reliably. Learn how and why these emerging threats challenge legacy equipment, and how emerging technology can help not only detect but identify these materials in the solid, liquid, vapor, or aerosolized form to allow for real time, tactical decision making on PPE, casualty management, sampling, and decontamination operations..
