Press Releases 2007 Argon Electronics delivers GBP 150k Australian DoD contracts for NASCAP enhanced chemical detection alarm systems Luton, U.K., 1 October 2007. Argon Electronics LLP has announced the completed delivery of several NASCAP (Networked Alarm System Central Alarm Processor) systems for the Australian Department of Defence to augment the operational capability of the GID-3(TM) chemical agent detector already in service with the Australian Army. With separate orders of a total value in excess of GBP 150,000, delivery of the first system was made in June 2006 with further systems supplied during May this year. The NASCAP system is a man portable, ready-to-go rapid deployment system that allows multiple stand-alone chemical point detectors to be radio networked to a single flexible architecture base station for safe and efficient remote monitoring of the detection instrument’s status and enhanced threat reporting in the event of alarm activation. The system allows armed forces to monitor detectors from secure locations whilst providing troops with advanced warning of chemical agent attack and allowing them to create a network of remote chemical sentries at the scene of any potential or suspected release. The NASCAP system can also be used to enhance discrete security at high profile civil events.

Bryce, Sr., the Deputy Joint Program Executive Officer for Chemical and Biological Defense with the U.S. Army, has formally opened the extension of Argon Electronics' U.K. premises. Unveiling a plaque to commemorate the occasion, Mr. Bryce congratulated Managing Director Steven Pike on 18 years of work in the development of innovative training solutions, and thanked him for Argon's on-going support to the U.S. military in this arena. The ceremony was attended by invited personnel from the U.K. armed forces, as well as guests from as far away as South Africa and the United States, and representatives from several of the world's leading detection instrument manufacturers including Bruker Daltonics, Inficon, Smiths Detection and Thermo Fisher Scientific. The doubling in size of Argon's facilities represents the growing appreciation of the need to provide safe and comprehensive instrumented chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) training by the international civil and military responder community. Growth in Argon's market leading simulation product portfolio has been paralleled by recent orders for networked detector alarm systems that enable remote monitoring and reporting of CBR threats and incidents.
