ChemProX is an early warning handheld chemical detector designed to detect and classify chemical threats in real time during field operations. ChemProX is used by military forces, first responders, and security organizations to indicate, classify and monitor the presence of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). The device combines chemical detection, situational awareness, and wireless team connectivity in a single rugged handheld unit.

ChemProX is designed to detect a wide range of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). These chemical threats may be encountered in military operations, industrial accidents, transportation incidents, or intentional releases. When an alarm is triggered, ChemProX clearly indicates the type of chemical threat and provides embedded standard response instructions to support immediate protective actions and risk mitigation.

ChemProX detects chemicals using an in-house-developed orthogonal detection that combines open-loop Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) with multiple semiconductor sensors. The open-loop IMS cell continuously samples ambient air, while additional sensors increase detection reliability and expand the detectable chemical range. This multi-sensor architecture reduces false alarms and improves confidence in early warning field detection.

ChemProX is specifically designed for early warning detection by providing fast response times and reliable measurement results without requiring consumables. The device continuously monitors the environment and even alerts users before chemical concentrations reach critical and alarm triggering levels. This early warning capability allows operators to react quickly, limit exposure, and adjust movement or positioning in hazardous areas.

The ChemProX trend display is a real-time graphical feature that shows changes in combined sensor response levels over time. The trend line helps operators locate unknown chemical threats by identifying areas where concentrations are increasing, even before alarm thresholds are reached. This feature supports chemical surveillance, reconnaissance, and source localization during field operations.

ChemProX does not require consumables for chemical detection, which lowers operating costs and simplifies logistics. The device also does not require routine calibration. A simple confidence check is enough to confirm readiness. These characteristics make ChemProX well suited for rapid deployment and long-term field use.

ChemProX includes a built-in training mode that allows users to practice realistic scenarios without exposure to real chemical agents. Simulated alarms can be generated using Bluetooth sources, and more complex exercises can be created using the Mobile Command & Control and Training Software. This integrated training capability eliminates the need for expensive separate simulators or training detectors.

ChemProX features built-in wireless connectivity, including radio data communication, WLAN, WPAN, and GPS. Multiple ChemProX devices can operate as a group, sharing real-time alarms, detection data, and geolocation information between team members and command centers. This networked operation enhances coordination and decision-making during complex missions.

Yes. ChemProX can be deployed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) without additional integration. This capability enables remote chemical monitoring in hazardous or inaccessible environments using the same detection technology as handheld operations. ChemProX supports both manned and unmanned mission profiles.

ChemProX can be expanded toward full CBRN detection capability through optional accessories and detection modules, such as a radiation detector module and CBRN kit. These options allow organizations to adapt ChemProX to broader threat detection requirements while maintaining a consistent user interface and operational workflow.
