Mobile Deployable Laboratory – Chemical Module

Changes in the layout of today's security medium, in which NATO and its member states evolve, in accordance to the new types of risks and threats, caused the reconsideration of the concept of security and modified priorities regarding civilian protection, territory and combatant forces.

The amplitude of the specific phenomenon associated with the proliferation of mass destruction weapons put the highest level of international political and military decisions into debate. In the given conditions, the field of CBRN defense becomes a strategic priority for the Alliance which decided (through the declaration of the general secretary of NATO at the summit in Prague) to adopt a set of engagements regarding the improvement of the defense capabilities against new threats through modernization and adaptation of specific structures. This paper presents the results of research conducted in the field of CBRN defense regarding the introduction of a “DEPLOYABLE Mobile CBRN Laboratory” within specific structures, product that will have the capability to be easily deployed in a combat theater, detect and identify (automatically or through instrumental analysis) CBRN agents within a real or suspect CBRN contaminated medium and provide Intel that will help in real time decision processes that can evaluate the consequences of a CBRN event.
