History of CWA Development & Use
The Evolution of CBRN Threats
Chemical warfare agents have evolved greatly over the last 100 years. Choking and blistering agents were the first to be developed and used broadly in combat. More recently, the development of 3rd and 4th generation agents as well as the use of Pharmaceutical-Based Agents have widely replaced them as the weapons of choice in modern conflict.
Modern Threat Detection
The Evolution of CBRN Technology
As CWAs evolved, detection technologies have evolved with them. Enabling warfighters to detect and identify evolving threats with greater accuracy, closer to the front lines.
Choosing a CWA detector that provides broad coverage of likely threats is critical for success. The MX908 is able to detect and identify 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Generation agents, as well as emerging Pharmaceutical Based Agents, and more. The MX908 provides operators with a tool that can change with emerging threats and evolve to meet future needs.
