DetectaChem has received a $10 million IDIQ contract from the US Navy to provide its SEEKERe explosive detection kit (EDK), the company announced on 27 June.
The SEEKERe EDK was selected as the navy's next-generation hand held explosive detector following rigorous and extensive validation testing. The company will supply and maintain an estimated 498 SEEKERe EDK units.
The SEEKERe EDK is a portable and ruggedised detection device with simple, video-guided operation, MIL-STD-810G certification and an IP66 rating. Its automated colourimetrics provide accurate trace detection for nitroaromatics, nitramines, nitrate esters, heat and moisture exchanging, inorganic nitrates, peroxides, chlorates and derivatives in a single test.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
