Written by Steven Pike on 01 Nov 2022

Argon Electronics (UK) Ltd. and Smiths Detection, have once again renewed their
Exploitation Agreement permitting Argon to manufacture and market a range of
simulators based upon Smiths market leading Chemical Warfare detectors. 

Originally signed in 2012, the worldwide exclusive Exploitation Agreement permits
Argon to utilise and implement the appropriate aspects of Smiths Intellectual Property
and detector components to create high-fidelity Chemical Warfare detector training
simulators that have been delivered to numerous Government worldwide.

Argon simulators enable a wide variety of scenarios ranging from clandestine
laboratory, terrorist threats and battlefield CWA releases to be implemented in a safe,
environmentally friendly manner. Capable of being used with discrete simulation
sources and with Argon’s PlumeSIM wide are training system, the simulators
incorporate a powerful user monitoring that provides valuable After Action Review

Many users of Argon simulators have reported the greatly improved quality of use in
real detectors during live agent training exercises because of prior simulator use and
practice.
