SDI awarded JCAD follow-on order
The US Army has awarded a $17.2 million follow-on production order to Smiths Detection Inc (SDI) for the US Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) programme, the company announced on 27 April.
JCAD is based on the Lightweight Chemical Detector (LCD) product line from SDI. The LCDs are lightweight, handheld threat detection devices designed to alert military operators if dangerous and toxic chemicals are detected.
Stephen Esposito, vice president and general manager, defense solutions, SDI, said: 'SDI has a long relationship supporting the JCAD programme, one of the most effective chemical warfare protection solutions for US troops in history. SDI is committed to contributing to the success of this programme and technology, which is used by service members worldwide.'
