Shipboard Chemical Agent Point Detection System (CAPDS)
Shipboard Chemical Agent Point Detection System (CAPDS) :
A fixed system capable of detecting nerve agents in vapor form using a baffle tube ionization spectrometer. This CAPDS obtains a sample of external air, ionizes airborne vapor molecules, and collects them on a charged plate after eliminating lighter molecules via the baffle structure. The system is installed in an upper superstructure level and provides ships with the capability to detect nerve agents. It will be activated when ships enter high threat areas and during operation in littoral waterways. The system is installed on most surface combatant's ships
