BILLERICA, Mass: Bruker announced a contract to deliver 133 RAID M-100 hand-held chemical detectors, which are based on Bruker's advanced ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology, to the United States National Guard.
For deliveries through March 2018, the 133 RAID M-100 units upgrade and enhance the capabilities of the National Guard Homeland Response Force (HRF) and of the CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP). The RAID M-100s will replace older Chemical Agent Monitor (CAM) detectors that have been in service for many years.
The fast, sensitive and reliable response of the new RAID M-100 detectors will enhance mission capabilities of these strategic National Guard units, which are vital to national defense.
