General Description
The IPDS-LR Shipboard Chemical Detection System was specifically designed for chemical detection of chemical warfare agent vapors onboard US Navy surface ships. The system comprises two detector units, two sampling systems, a remote display unit, a control display unit, and shock mounts for all units.
Technical Description
The IPDS-LR uses ion mobility spectrometry with spectral matching software to locate, classify, and identify chemical warfare agents on board US Navy surface ships. The detector units have special interference rejection built into the detection algorithm and meets specifications for false alarm thresholds with sensitivity requirements. The sampling system includes specially designed sampling lines, filters, and bulkhead adapters to operate in marine environments.
