First Responders
When the crisis hits, the pressure is on the first responder. As the first to enter a potential disaster zone, field experts require tools that can do the job- and get personnel back to safety fast. With so many unknowns, the responder needs a variety of approaches to assess conditions. Light weight, mobility, speed, and effectiveness in compromised conditions are essential. Each tick of the clock increases the risk to human life.
When ICx engineers build a tool, they seek out the real-world insights of first responders. Our customers demand ease of use, robustness, ability to operate while wearing protective gear, and rapid results. If you are looking for faster, easier, and more functional response approaches, ask your ICx representative to demonstrate the latest field systems.
Representative Examples
Nuclear Emergency Support Teams (NEST)
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) NEST program utilizes the identiFINDER to help locate and identify nuclear and radiological threats. NEST responds immediately to any credible report that a terrorist group may have planted a nuclear device somewhere in the United States.
Central Indiana Hazardous Materials Response Unit
ICx has supplied newly developed Chemical Agent Detection products as a low cost solution to increase response times for disaster preparedness. Most recently the Central Indiana Hazardous Materials Response Unit increased their response capabilities by adding the CAD-Kits to their Equipment Cache.
