The Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear (CBRN) detection business of Bruker Daltonik GmbH in Leipzig, Germany today announces that it has received a Euro 3.5 million ($ 4.7 million) contract award for its RAID™-S chemical agent detectors from a major navy on the Indian Subcontinent.
Bruker Daltonics is expected to deliver and integrate its RAID-S detectors in the second half of 2007 and the first half of 2008 in order to provide real-time chemical agent detection capabilities on board navy vessels of various classes. The contract also includes a multiyear maintenance contract.
Mr. Sebastian Meyer-Plath, Vice President for CBRN Detection at Bruker Daltonics, commented: “We are very pleased with our selection. This contract is more evidence that the RAID-S has arguably become the most advanced shipboard chemical agent detector in the world today with detection performance and interference rejection second-to-none. This contract extends our RAID-S users list by another major blue water navy.”
