Appearing under the title "Reality Check", the article describes how training to face a threat that has been rarely experienced creates a number of difficulties, not least the lack of familiarity with the broad range of chemical and radiological detection instruments that can now be deployed in the event of such scenarios being realised.
The difficulties faced by police forces are exacerbated by the requirement to train in a public urban environment, but Argon simulation systems can overcome these limiting factors and provides instructors with the ability to objectively and fully assess the capability of their students with regard to detector use.
Adding Argon's PlumeSIM system to the equation further elevates the possibilities of realistic CBRN training by permitting large numbers of trainees to operate in wide area field exercise scenarios that can be individually created for any location with a few simple clicks of a mouse.
