BPSI shows new mobile trailer CBRN detection unit

Published 20 August 2009

Mobile Sentry One is a trailer-mounted system that incorporates chemical and radiological (optional biological detection is available) sensor technology with proprietary firmware and software to detect and identify an airborne toxic attack within seconds

Building Protection Systems, Inc. (BPSI), the developer of a system to protect buildings and their occupants from airborne toxins, announced it has completed testing and is ready to deliver its new mobile trailer CBRN detection system.

The company says the Mobile Sentry One solution was developed at the request of law enforcement agencies for the protection of VIPs at events while in their cities. “This mobile CBRN detection system solves a real protection problem when talking special security events,” said Greg Eiler, CEO of BPSI. “Simply put, law enforcement would not know of an airborne toxic chemical attack or a dirty bomb release until it is too late. Now the Mobile Sentry One provides reliable, real-time information wherever it is needed.”

The Mobile Sentry One is based on the same technology as BPSI’s Building Sentry One, which has been used to protect Fortune 100 office buildings for more than eighteen months now. The company notes that during this period there has not been a single false alarm, an unheard of feat in the detection industry.”

Mounted inside a lightweight 4’w x 6’l x 5’h trailer, the rugged Mobile Sentry One system can be transported anywhere it can roll. The 120v hook-up allows for unlimited detection run time while the onboard battery power supply provides up to four hours of back-up operation. Optional solar and generator power supplies are also available. Each Mobile Sentry One trailer can be easily networked to other Mobile Sentry One trailers, providing complete perimeter protection from an airborne release or targeted attack.

BPSI’s ability to transfer its reliable building protection system to a mobile platform further expands the level of protection it affords citizens from airborne toxins,” said Tom Ridge, former DHS secretary and head of Ridge Global, a strategic advisor to BPSI.

How it works, briefly
BPSI’s Mobile Sentry One is a trailer-mounted system that incorporates chemical and radiological (optional biological detection is available) sensor technology with proprietary firmware and software to detect and identify an airborne toxic attack within seconds. In real time, the Mobile Sentry One communicates with the security command center providing toxin and location data and has the ability automatically to activate predetermined desirable protocols to mitigate the effects of the dangerous toxins.
