Smiths Detection will supply LCD 3.3 detectors, which provide the crew with early warning of any chemical warfare attack. The contract follows a two-year development programme, including modifying the detector's special mounting system to meet the particular requirements of the vehicle.
Tony Tielen, Vice President EMEA, Smiths Detection, said: "This major military programme provides Smiths Detection with a valuable reference system for vehicle integration. The importance of AJAX was recognised by releasing it into full production as a front-line vehicle for UK land forces. With continuing news of chemical weapons being used by terrorist groups, Smiths Detection's LCD 3.3 will play a critical role in keeping troops safe. We look forward to working with General Dynamics UK on the delivery of this vital programme."
