Changes in Users of Detection Equipment
• Military
• Paramedics
• Fire / Police
• Coast Guard
• Customs / DHS

Changes in Chemical Threats and Targets
• Toxic Industrial Substances
• “Home Made” CW agents

Multi Agency - Multi Detector Training Scenarios
Agencies now use multiple detectors:• CWA/TICs Detectors : CAM / ICAM, LCD,
ACADA, S-CAD, Hapsite, Chempro 100
Different Agencies also coordinate their training:• Military, Law Enforcement, CSTs, DHS, • Multi- National Training Exercises

Environmentally Friendly Simulation Sources Are Available Innovative types of technology can be used:• Electromagnetics - for personal contamination
and simulated confidence testing• Ultrasonics - for vapor release • Powders/Liquids – for de-mil, contamination • Simulation of CW/BW agents, Radiation and
Nuclear contamination, TICs and false positives - IN THE SAME SCENARIO!

Ability for Timely Trainee Error Reporting is Critical
• Real Time and After Action Review Based Error Reporting
• Results Can be used to Certify Trainees as competent to use equipment

Future Battlefield Training to Include Vehicle / Equipment
Harnesses• Simulate localized and
gross contamination• Permit simulation of
full and partial decontamination
• Based upon existing Radsim / Camsim technology

Conclusion TODAY: A common simulation platform
permits multi substance, multi detector, multi agency training to take place in an easy, safe and environmentally friendly manner while providing a consistent means of evaluating operator performance and reducing user asset cost of ownership.
TOMORROW: The future advances in battlefield CBRN training that are possible will greatly improve the CBRN readiness of defense and civilian forces.
