Sensitivities of Selected Chemical Detectors

Abstract

This document includes an assessment of the sensitivity of three chemical agent detectors. The Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD), the Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarm (ACADA) and the AP2C detector made by the Proengin Corporation are the three detectors. The sensitivity of the detectors is compared to that needed to measure point concentrations and dosages of the chemicals and to determine the absence of the chemical agents.
