Ten vehicles with advanced equipment for detecting radioactivity and biochemical toxins have been deployed in five regions of Taiwan.

The vehicle is equipped with a server through which an operator with a hand-held PDA transmits images and other data within 5km of the vehicle to disaster-relief headquarters.

The vehicle is also capable of detecting the chemical composition of spilled material from a long distance and suggests remedial actions to control the situation.

The army has also demonstrated other command-and-control vehicles as well as disaster prevention and relief equipment.
