CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army ordered chemical agent detectors for its Stryker reconnaissance vehicles from General Dynamics' Armament and Technical Products division.
The U.S. Army placed a $16 million order for joint service lightweight standoff chemical agent detector systems, JSLSCAD, for the Stryker, a vehicle deployed in part to scout for weapons of mass destruction.
The JSLSCAD is the first chemical detection system that boasts 360 degrees of coverage for ground vehicles. Its detection range is close to 1.25 miles.
The system uses a passive infrared detection system that searches for chemical vapor clouds automatically, General Dynamics said.
"General Dynamics' JSLSCAD provides U.S. armed forces with an effective tool to detect potentially harmful and even fatal chemicals at a safe distance," said Bill Gural, vice president and general manager of the technical products division.
General Dynamics will carry out the work at its detection and protection production facility in North Carolina. This is the second order under a 2008 contract and deliveries are scheduled for 2011.
