The FM53 RespiratorMask

The CE approved FM53 is the only mask of itskind, offering users the highest levels ofversatility, comfort and protection. It features alever which allows the wearer to easily switchbetween negative (filter) and positive (SCBA)pressure with a simple operator movement. Itsunique shape allows for the easy incorporationof a helmet interface, and it includes a superiorcommunication interface allowing dual comsand VPU use, as well as an ability to be usedwith SCBA, PAPR and filters.

It also includes a drinking system that is capableof drawing half a litre of water in three minutesto rehydrate the specialist user during periodsof high intensity workloads. With the addedbenefit of CE certification, users from both themilitary and civil sectors now have amultifunctional mask that they can use in anygiven CBRN situation without the need tochange equipment.

The ST53 Multi-roleRespiratory System

The CE approved ST53™ is the most technicallyadvanced respiratory system on themarketplace today, and is now available tocivilian organizations such as police forces andemergency response teams. The ST53™ offers aselection of respiratory possibilities when in theheat of a threat scenario.

With the FM53 at its heart, and a choice of short(seven or 14 minutes) or long duration (up toapproximately 60 minutes) compressed aircylinders, it is possible to enter a location onfilter mode, assess the situation, and then

change to SCBA mode if the need ariseswithout having to leave and change equipment.With a range of accessories available as well, itis the perfect versatile system for building andconfined space entry where the threats areunknown.

FM12 CBRNRespirator

The FM12 is one of Avon’s legacy masks, and isprobably the most widely used respirator acrossthe world by military and law enforcementorganizations. It provides high levels ofrespiratory protection against both classicalchemical warfare agents and toxic industrialmaterials.

It has CE and NIOSH accreditation, and is themask of choice for the Quick Don CBRNensemble – a complete CBRN personal

protection equipment suit for the UK policethat can be donned in five minutes.

BIOLOGICAL ANDCHEMICAL DETECTIONALARM WITH ONESENSOR: AP4C-VBProengin has developed biological and chemicalwarfare agents field detectors using flamespectrophotometry.

This technology consists in burning within a tinyhydrogen flame, gases or particles and analyzingthe spectra of the light of the flame todetermine what atoms are present in theburned gas or particles. This very simple anduniversal physical principle, used by chemicalindustry since decades, has been applied byProengin to Chemical warfare agents detectionon the field.

The well-known and world widely used AP2Cand AP4C have proven the capacity of thattechnology to be the most reliable on the fieldwith the lowest false alarm rate and thesimplest ease of use.

Flame spectrophotometry technology has alsobeen applied by Proengin to biological alarmdetection.

Biological alarm detection consists in detectingin the atmosphere sudden changes in theconcentration of bacteria or living particles. Thissudden increase or the simple fact to reach athreshold in the living particles concentrationmight be the sign of an airborne biologicalattack.

Biological alarm detection technologies do nothave the capacity to determine if the particlesthat have caused that alarm are reallydangerous. However, such an alarm would leadto a sampling of air and particles and a furtheranalysis will confirm the presence of lethalbacteria.

It is important therefore important that aBiological Alarm Detector will be differentiatebiological particles from dust, pollens or anyother particles.

Flame Spectrophotometry detectorsdeveloped by Proengin, such as MAB, use hecontent of potassium and sodium in, moreparticularly, the ratio Potassium/sodiumconcentration in each particle to discriminateliving particles from others.

This technology is well adapted to field use asit is not affected by environmental conditions -humidity- or dust or diesel exhausts.

The first instrument developed by Proenginfor biological detection is the MAB:MAB has the unique capacity of detecting andcategorizing biological particles with a provenextremely low false alarm rate and the uniquecapacity to discriminate dangerous orsuspicious biological particles such as Anthraxspores from natural background. It has beendesigned to be mounted on tracked vehicles.

MAB is now in service in more than 10 countriesby armed forces.

As Proengin chemical detectors also use Flamespectrophotometry by detection the presenceof phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic and HNO within

6



the molecules , it became therefore natural tocombine those two types of detection withinonly one instrument: available in two versionsAP4C-VB.and AP4C-FB.

AP4C-VB is not the combination of onechemical detector and one biological detectorin one box.

Only one sensor is used and chemical andbiological detection are simultaneously done;in the worst environmental conditions, AP4C-VB detects the presence of both chemicalwarfare agents and biological warfare agentswith a high sensitivity and specificity.

Those detections are automatically done anddo not require any technical skills for the user.

Besides its technical capacities, one of the mainadvantages of APC-VB is economical. Having the

two types of detection performed by only onesensor allows to significantly reduce the priceof the complete biological-chemical detectionfunction.

Moreover, flame spectrophotometry requiresvery few consumables and a minimalmaintenance. No change filters is required.

With AP4C-VB, another version of theinstrument has been specifically designed for 24/7 usage. In this configuration , hydrogen thatis the fuel of the flame at the heart of flamespectrophotometry, is simply produced by the

electrolysis of water, and the only consumableof AP4C-FB is one liter of water per month.

Both instruments are field proven. For instance,AP4C-FB is now in service in several criticalinfrastructures at the highest level.

AP4C-VB and AP4C-FB represent a newgeneration of reliable instruments at anaffordable price for a critical function of thefield.

Cobham UnmannedSystems – Successfulperformance at M-ELROB Cobham Unmanned Systems has picked up towinner awards at the 5th Military European LandRobot Trial 2014 (M-ELROB). The event, whichtook place in Warsaw (Poland), is in-tended toprovide the manufacturers of robotic systemswith the opportunity to present their productsin “… scenarios [which] have been developed inclosest co-operation with the military users and[to] reflect the up-to-date requirements of theforces.” [www.elrob.org].

The participants in these events are very familiarwith the general tasks in the scenarios. Howeverthe exact setup and the conditions of the areaare unknown to them. The circumstances theyare in, when taking part in the event, cantherefore be compared to a real mission. Theyknow what they are expected to do, but theydo not know what it is they will encounter.

In order to see what the robotic systems arecapable of when really in a mission, one of the

rules is that the robots must be controlledwithout directly looking at the robot in thescenario. Being in an unknown area and havingno direct line of sight probably is what makesthe conditions so real and so different from thegeneral laboratory setup or self-made scenarios.At the M-ELROB 2014 the EOD robot telemaxwas twice the winner of best scenarioperformance. It came first in the categories“Reconnaissance and surveillance in non-urbanenvironment” and in “Reconnoitering ofstructures”. Cobham Unmanned Systems is veryproud to thus continue the long and successfultradition of telerob Gesellschaft für Fernhantierungstechnik mbH, that is now doing businessas Cobham Unmanned Systems, and achievedbest scenario performances at the previous M-ELROB in the categories “Reconnaissance andsurveillance – RSTA” (2010) and “InnovationAward(s)” (2010 and 2012).

However, these are not the only events

Cobham Unmanned Systems performed well

at. The EURATHLON, the civilian equivalent to

the M-ELROB, also aims at challenging robotic

systems with real world scenarios. At this event,

Cobham Unmanned Systems in 2013 performed

best in “Mobile manipulation for handling

hazardous material” and in “Search and rescue

in a smoke filled underground structure”.

Altogether this perfectly shows the capabilities

of Cobham Unmanned Systems robotic

systems.

The M-ELROB also conducts non-public

scenarios for EOD experts. This year the

“Reconnaissance and disposal of bombs and

explosive devices” scenario took place. The

results are for obvious reasons not publically

available but by looking at the performance in

the scenarios mentioned above you can guess

what Cobham Unmanned Systems has shown

in these scenarios. If you can prove a

professional interest and an expertise in the

EOD area the results may be shown to you

upon request.

It is the latestmannequin development for i-bodi Technology,a company with 10 years experience ofdesigning and building military test equipmentfor various defence organisations such as DRDC(Canada), DSTO (Australia), DGA (France) andDstl (UK).

Unique in its capabilities, Porton Man isdesigned to accurately represent the militaryuser. Using state of the art technology, thiscomputer controlled mannequin is able to walk,march, run, sit, kneel and lift its arms as if sightinga weapon. Jez Gibson Harris, CEO of i-bodiTechnology said “Our brief was to produce alight-weight, robotic mannequin that had a widerange of movement, fitted the anthropometricdata and was easy to handle”. Porton Man wasproduced using chemically resistant, carboncomposite body parts. Weighing only 14kg, themannequin is far lighter than its predecessorswhich were less advanced and weighed 80kg.Dr Jaime Cummins from Dstl’s ProtectiveClothing, Chemical and Biological ProtectionDepartment said that “we will be able to assess

and characterise protective clothing in wayswhich were not previously possible. We areimmensely proud to have this mannequin aspart of our capability to protect against thethreat posed by chemical and biological agents”.I-bodi Technology have designed this roboticmannequin to have body sensors that are ableto record data during tests using live or simulantagents and carry out real-time analysis. Thiscutting edge technology will help design thenext generation of protective suits andequipment enabling them to be tested in arealistic but secure environment.

The team at i-bodi Technology have a wealth ofindustry experience and specialise in providingintelligent solutions. Mike Franklin, chief DesignEngineer at i-bodi Technology, was recentlyawarded the BEEA Design Engineer of the Year2014 and is testimony to his innovative designswithin strict commercial limits. Other projectsinclude; the design and build of a computercontrolled, sweating, heated head form (FARSS)to evaluate fogging and ice propagation in aircrew, military and first responder respirators;the Respirator Testing Head Form; the CBplusMannequin Technology System and FASTMAN,a Fully Articulated, Anthropometrically Correct,Sweating, Thermo-Regulated Mannequin. I-

bodi Technology are also specialists in DigitalBreathing Machines, which can be used inconjunction with head forms or mannequins tosimulate live participant breathing in respiratorand head-wear evaluation studies and similarapplications.

Philip Dunne, minister for defence equipment,support and technology, said, “This technology(Porton Man), designed by a British company isenabling the UK to lead the way in thisimportant testing. Increased investment inscience and technology by the MoD (Ministryof Defence) is not only enabling battle-winningand life-saving equipment to be developed butalso helping innovative companies like i-bodiTechnology to develop cutting edge capability”.
