JCAD-SIM to help USAF CBRN training

It's not really news now, but, just in case you missed it the first time round, the following press release was approved on the 22nd April 2010.

"The United States Air Force Air Education Training Command has awarded Argon Electronics a substantial contract to equip nine primary and Silver Flag USAF CBRN training facilities with 145 JCAD-SIM training simulator systems. The simulators will enable USAF personnel to train how to use the new M4-JCAD detector in any environment without the need to use any form of chemical simulant and provide significant cost savings during training. JCAD-SIM accurately simulates detection of CW, blood and choking agents as well as toxic industrial substances using Argon’s patented simulation technology, which also reports any student errors during training. The high fidelity simulator includes a simulation confidence tester and training sieve pack change system. The JCAD-SIMs are capable of upgrade to operate with Argon’s PlumeSIM, a portable instrumented CBRN training system capable of rapid deployment for home station CBRN training and are also compatible with all other Argon CBRN simulators permitting multiple detector, multiple substance training to take place within the same exercise."
