Silver at the BSCS


target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) programme delivery group two at Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) stated: “BSCS is going to be a massive capability for the users. I do special projects and CBRN, and I am proud of how Dstl has linked in and brought research into this acquisition, and proud of how the team has come together to deliver this. I like the attention to detail, the way the filter drawer goes in and out, these things are important. There have been challenges, as with every project, but what has been special is everyone pulling together - users, Thales and sub-contractors.” Bearing in mind that the previous


two attempts at this - PIBBDT and ISMS - for all their innovation didn’t get rolled out to users (and presumably ISMS is still mouldering in a warehouse somewhere) this should be seen as a win for MoD. Yes, it might be the most technologically advanced system out

CBRNE events are low in frequency, but high in consequence. Today’s firefighters, HAZMAT specialists, law enforcement officers, security teams, military personnel, and other emergency responders require frequent training to stay prepared. Whether the mission is preventive, reactive, or intelligence-driven, responders can stay prepared with FLIR PRIMED, a free source of cutting-edge insights with a focus on “street truth”, best practices, field checklists, and other CBRNE information.


From the initial PRIMED episode– Prepare, Recognize, Input, Monitor, Experience, Decision – to explosives 101, radiation


protection zones and personal protective equipment, gas monitoring, and so much more, FLIR is presenting hot topics for today’s responders. These real-life, field-tested methods are presented by Grant Coffey, a retired Portland Fire & Rescue Hazmat Team Coordinator, College Fire Science Instructor, and CBRNE expert of nearly 40 years. In addition, each episode concludes with a free field checklist, or downloadable guide, to increase subject knowledge for a safer and more successful response.

there, but it will reach FOC in 2017 (there are too many COTS for it not to), it will fill a role and stop the MoD paying out for all the IBDS consumables. So while it might not be


as ground breaking as advertised, neither is it the failure that many military biological detection procurements turn into, and sometimes that is enough.
