LCD (Lightweight Chemical Detector) represents a new generation of sophisticated yet small and lightweight chemical warfare agent detectors, which will revolutionise the soldier's personal protection in the 21st century. The LCD contains no radioactive source, has a volume of less than 30in³ and weighs less than 1 lb (0.45kg). See our complete brochure on LCD3.2E 

Principally used as an unobtrusive personal detector, the LCD constantly samples the air for traces of nerve(G), blister(H), TICs(T) or blood (H) and choking (T) agents, to enable the user to take appropriate action. When used in survey mode, the unit has the capability for checking cargo, equipment, personnel or facilities. Additionally, the unit can be deployed on fixed or mobile platforms, including vehicles, ships, aircraft and fixed site installations. 

Equipped with an audible and/or visual alarm the unit incorporates an LED display mounted on the top face, to show operating status and give visual alarms (when worn), and a bar display on the front of the unit indicates concentration levels. In the event of an attack, the unit has the ability to recover quickly with a rapid clear-down time.

As part of the development, the detector has undergone successful testing with the UK Ministry of Defence, the US Department of Defence (DoD) and was originally designed to meet UK MoD requirements for the Lightweight Chemical Agent Detector (LCAD) programme. The LCD is currently in service within numerous other governments. Extensive trials have shown the highest level of performance of any detector of its kind. As a result, it remains the only participant in the trials for the US DoD JCAD Increment 1 programme.

The LCD 3.2E is user-friendly, highly reliable and field maintainable to minimise whole life cost. The only consumable items are standard commercially available AA batteries and the molecular sieve pack; both of which are replaceable in the field in less than two minutes and can be undertaken whilst wearing Individual Protective Equipment. Once deployed, the detector requires no calibration, lubrication or other scheduled maintenance. Accessories are available to further enhance the capability of the LCD 3.2E
