OwlSens-C
The 21st century soldier needs modern defenses against all threats, both visible and invisible. OwlSens-C provides this capability with rapid airborne threat detection of conventional Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and high-threat Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs).
- Man portable
- Improved sensitivity
- Large detection library
- Reprogrammable
Overview
OwlSens-C is a powerful and adaptable chemical monitor in a portable, self-contained unit.
Incorporating Owlstone’s unique chemical detection technology, the system offers the flexibility to provide both rapid alarms and improved sensitivity. OwlSense-C can be trained to respond to a broad range of chemical threats beyond just traditional CWAs and priority TICs. The system has been evaluated against a range of environmental test standards outlined in MIL-STD-810G.
OwlSens-C — Delivering Chemical Detection Capability to the 21st Century Soldier
Rapid airborne threat detection is a critical requirement in all Army, Navy, and Air Force operations. In addition to detecting conventional Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), OwlSens-C provides capability against a wide range of high-threat Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) at concentrations well below IDLH specifications.
