CBRN disposal technicians taking part in a training exercise. Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense (CBRN defense) or Nuclear, biological, and chemical protection (NBC protection) is a class of protective measures taken in situations where chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (including terrorism) hazards may be present.
The Contamination Indicator Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS) is a technology used to identify chemical contamination. CIDAS is meant to help soldiers by detecting trace levels and finding the exact location of chemical weapon agents.
The NBCRV detects and collects chemical and biological contamination in its local environment on the move through point detection (Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS) and Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS)), and at a distance through the use of a standoff detector (JSLSCAD) [clarification needed].
CBRNE operations detect, identify, assess, render-safe, dismantle, transfer, and dispose of unexploded ordnance, improvised explosive devices and other CBRNE hazards. These operations also include decontaminating personnel and property exposed to CBRNE materials during response.
Collective protection is an important aspect of fixed site defense. Ideally, it provides a contaminate free environment for people, allowing relief from the continuous wearing of gas masks and other MOPP equipment. The basic concept applied for collective protection is overpressure and filtration. By filtering the incoming air to the shelter or ...
The Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF) is a Marine Corps unit responsible for countering the effects of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive (CBRNE) incident, support counter CBRN terrorism, and urban search and rescue when CBRN incident.
The Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (化学防護車, Kagaku-bougo-sha) is an armoured vehicle that entered service with Japan in 1987, manufactured by Komatsu. It investigates and measures radiation and contamination conditions in situations where nuclear or chemical weapons have been used.
A UTM-80M heat treatment machine cleans a TOS-1 Buratino heavy flamethrower MLRS. NBC Protection Troops shock troops from the 27th Separate Brigade of NBC Protection, during training with the support of motorized rifle, tank and artillery units of the 20th Guards CAA, liberated the "captured" city in conditions of radiation contamination of the area.
