The LCD weighs less than 2lb and can be handheld or worn by troops to detect and identify threats by determining the agent or type, class, concentration and dosage of exposure.
The device also serves as a screening and survey device, and protects soldiers and first responders from chemical, biological, radiological and explosive threats.
The detector is also used by UK, US, Canadian, Australian, Danish and Norwegian forces.
