Smiths Detection Wins $21M Chemical Detector Orders
JCADs Protect U.S. Troops from Chemical Warfare Agents and Toxic Industrial Chemicals
Smiths Detection announced the award of two orders totaling more than $21 million from the U.S. Army under the Department of Defense’s Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) program.
The JCAD is based on Smiths Detection's LCD product line of advanced, light-weight, threat detection devices that can be easily strapped to a belt.
The enhanced M4A1 JCADs, which have started delivery, are manufactured in Smiths Detection’s facility at Edgewood, Md. The plant, which employs nearly 230 people, recently expanded to help meet demand from the U.S. military for the JCAD program.
The two latest orders comprise one of $4.9m and another of $16.9m.
