MX908 Beacon Specification Sheet
MX908 Beacon remote area monitoring for identification of aerosol and vapor CWA’s and PBA’s.
High Priority Threat Coverage
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have been a persistent concern in global security, posing a grave threat to areas in conflict. Recent years have witnessed disturbing incidents of their use across various parts of the world.
The emergence of pharmaceutical-based agents (PBAs) adds to this threat. Originally designed for medical purposes, drugs like carfentanil have become a cause for concern due to their toxicity and extreme ease of manufacturing and procurement. The idea of weaponizing drugs like fentanyl represents a dangerous escalation in the ongoing battle against illicit substances. It poses significant challenges to militaries and first responders as traditional security measures may not be sufficient to counteract this new threat.
Filling The Gap In Area Monitoring
MX908 is deployed by militaries and first responders around the world for detection and identification of chemical threats.
With the addition of MX908 Beacon™, operators can augment their area monitoring capability to provide real-time identification of aerosol and vapor chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and pharmaceutical based agents (PBAs) for extended durations, adding a layer of protection for special events, hazmat response and critical infrastructure. A remote communications package allows users to operate and monitor multiple Beacons from anywhere in the world while sharing realtime data with their team.
