Strasbourg, France | March 19-21, 2024
The 2024 CBRNe Research & Innovation Conference includes demonstrations and workshops prepared by a combined French & German Committee, involving various operational responders (Fire Brigades, EMS, Police, Gendarmerie, bomb disposal experts) and scientists from the University of Strasbourg.
The event features a “Research & Innovation Village” to encourage networking, where industrial booths and thematic posters were mixed to foster discussions between scientists, responders, and the private sector.
Look for the 908 Devices Booth in the Exhibit Hall.
We value the focus on scientific innovation and responder needs in the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) space. Stop by our booth to see how our technologies directly address these priorities!

DETC-9. The Aero – A new capability to rapidly detect aerosolized threats in the field.
Tuesday, 19 March | 16:15 – 17:45, Detection C
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.
