Hundreds of LCD 4 personal detectors to be
deployed in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and
security screening technologies is to supply LCD 4 personal
chemical detectors to the Japan Ministry of Defense (JMOD) for
deployment via its Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF).
Following an extensive and competitive product evaluation by the
JMOD, the LCD3.3 and LCD 4 were chosen for their exceptional
performance and flexibility. Easy integration into the JMOD system
were also key selection factors.
“The JMOD’s decision to invest in this technology underlines the
LCD’s status as the most widely deployed personal chemical detector
in armed forces across the globe,” commented Dr Sarah Robinson,
Portfolio Director - CBRNE at Smiths Detection. “We are
customising this new consignment to meet the specific detection
demands of the JMOD and, of course, to include a Japanese language
option.”
Compact and wearable, the LCD 4 provides advanced warnings,
detecting and identifying gas and vapour threats at or below
immediate danger to life and health (IDLH) levels. Using the latest
Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technology, it can determine the
agent or type, class, concentration and dosage of chemical
exposure.
In the future, a simple XID add-on could expand the gas and
vapour detection capabilities to include solid and liquid sampling;
plus detection of narcotics, explosives and low-volatility chemical
traces such as Novichok (a new chemical warfare agent).
Handled locally by Smiths Detection’s distribution partner, S.T.
Japan, the contract includes a total of 462 units with delivery
staggered between January and March 2025 and January 2026.
