participated, as well as civilian CBRN groups from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and Swedish Customs. During the six-day exercise, the participants trained within all areas of CBRN, from detection, testing and sanitizing to analysing dangerous substances.

“The goal for the RECCEX was that the Nordic countries were able to train together to facilitate co-operation in international eff orts.

illegal laboratories, distribution of substances from a model aircraſt , incidences of white powder letters, and sanitizing animal shelters. An assortment of new CBRN equipment was used for the fi rst time during RECCEX 12, including training devices from Argon Electronics which has completed delivery of a variety of CBRN training simulators for the Swedish Armed Forces. A recent contract included AP2C-SIM, S4PE-SIM, and LCD3.2e-SIM simulators and also a number of Argon’s PlumeSIM instrumented CBRN training systems for deployment with the simulators at a number of locations. This contract award follows the successful implementation of Argon simulators at the Swedish Armed Forces CBRN School in Umea in 2008 and included the upgrade of the original simulators to function with PlumeSIM. More than 50 Argon simulators were used for the RECCEX 12 exercise, which was witnessed by the Swedish Military Procurement representatives and visiting defence attaches. The Saab Group is also supplying the Swedish Armed Forces
with a new concept in CBRN detection and warning system designed for use by non-specialists in the fi eld. Known as Automatic Warning and Reporting (AWR), the system provides fl exible wide-area force protection against CBRN threats, and also has civilian applications. AWR is designed to work through a battle management system, and is being demonstrated here as part of Saab’s 9Land battle management system (BMS). A variety of sensors are available covering a range of
CBRN data acquired by the PlumeSim. (Argon)
