The Integrated Biological Detection System
(IBDS) has recently replaced the Prototype Biological Detection System
(PBDS) in service with the UK Joint NBC Regiment.
This modern system
provides an enhanced and automated NBC detection system.
Major IBDS elements include:
-
A detection suite, including equipment for
atmospheric sampling
-
Meteorological station and GPS
-
NBC filtration and environmental control for
use in all climates
-
Chemical agent detection
-
Independent power supply
-
Cameras for 360 degree surveillance
IBDS is installed in a
container which can be mounted on a vehicle (standard 4 ton) or ground
dumped and can be transported by either fixed wing aircraft or
helicopters. IBDS provides the commander in the field with early warning
of a chemical or biological warfare attack.
