The M40 comes with a drinking system that allows the user to drink water after donning the mask for long periods of time in a chemically contaminated environment. In order to use the drinking system the user must also have suitably equipped canteen lids or an adapter for other containers.
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 technology is designed primarily for government use, specifically on equipment such as tactical vehicles, ship surfaces, and weapons. [4] The primary objective of CIDAS is the capability to detect trace levels of chemical warfare agents on surfaces before and after personnel decontaminate the surfaces "during Detailed Equipment Decontamination (DED) operations."
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 ...
An overpressure protection system is one designed to protect an individual or group of individuals in a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear environment.The two parts of the system are a safe area which as far as possible is sealed from possible contaminated air and an air filtration system which will filter out all possible toxins.
A PAPR is certified for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear contaminants (CBRN) Some PAPRs have special certification for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear contaminants (CBRN). In the United States, they must be certified to resist permeation of chemical warfare agents, which may involve additional protective coverings ...
MOPP (an acronym for "Mission Oriented Protective Posture"; pronounced "mop") is protective gear used by U.S. military personnel in a toxic environment, e.g., during a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear strike: Protective mask – Commonly referred to as a gas mask or pro mask. It is designed to filter harmful chemical and ...
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].
