Naval CBRN Monitoring System Operator Training

Environics conducted a four-day Naval CBRN Monitoring System user training for our Canadian partners from Primex.

The training started with a pre-study based on a dedicated e-Learning course – specifically tailored and designed to support our partner network with basic understanding of the system, its components, operation, and user level maintenance tasks.

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

After the training, the system proceeded to Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), before being shipped to Canada. This test serves as a final inspection of the system for proof of functionality, meeting its purposes.

The FAT outcome was positive, as the end-customer was pleased about the Naval system setup and and functionality.
