G-NAD Nerve Agent Detector
G-NAD is a non-electronic detector able to detect all known nerve agents and is ideally suited for unmasking agents.
The KeTech Detection family of nerve agent detectors is well-proven in the harshest battlefield conditions and is now available in formats suitable for Homeland Security. KeTech Detection's antibody-based nerve agent detection systems are able to detect all known nerve agents and, indeed, any yet to be developed.
The Front Line format allows personnel to make rapid judgements for their own and public protection, ahead of the need to identify the specific threat. The compact and low-cost device is simple to use without specialist training and, being non-electronic, has no batteries to go flat.
Key Benefits:
- Proven unmasking aid used by many forces
- Fast response - easy to interpret
- Can be used in PPE
NAIAD
At the heart of KeTech Detection's Nerve Agent detection family is the NAIAD (Nerve Agent Immobiliser Agent Detector). This is still the ONLY nerve agent detector in the world that can detect ALL known and unknown nerve agents, including future possibilities. The limits of detection are at sub-miosis levels and the unit provides a generic attack warning at very low levels to allow those at risk to take protective action. A wide range of power options is available and NAIAD can be supplied in a non-military housing with associated cost reduction.

-
Proven in service detection of nerve agent vapour and aerosol
-
Detects attack concentrations of hydrogen cyanide
-
Negligible occurrence of false alarms
-
Electromagnetically compatible with other equipment
