Bruker Daltonics Announces Selection of its Range of Chemical Agent Detectors for Slovenian Armored Vehicles.LEIPZIG, Germany -- Bruker Daltonik GmbH today announced that it was awarded a $3.5 million contract to supply the Slovenian Army with a series of long range and point chemical detectors for integration into Slovenia's new lightweight reconnaissance vehicles. This contract has been awarded in cooperation with Em.tronic d.o.o., a Slovenian defense contractor. The Bruker Daltonics equipment to be supplied consists of RAPID(TM) infrared chemical standoff detectors, RAID-S2TM ion mobility spectrometers (IMS) for vehicle air monitoring and RAID-M100TM IMS systems for hand-held chemical agent detection. The equipment will be delivered over the next two years. Bruker's RAPID(TM) is the leading long-range standoff chemical warfare agent detector for remote detection of hazardous gases up to a distance of several kilometers. The RAID-S2TM is designed for integration into vehicles, ships and facilities to measure chemical agents in ambient air, both inside and outside with dual sampling capability. The acclaimed RAID-M 100TM hand-held chemical agent monitor is for use by troops dismounting the vehicles for both personal protection and surveillance activities.
