WASHINGTON – Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) chemist Tim Anthony explains the Navy’s shipboard chemical warfare agent detector – the Improved Point Detection System – Lifecycle Replacement – to an attendee at the NSWCDD Briefing and Technical Demonstration held in Naval Sea System Command headquarters, Nov. 3. The Navy has installed the system – designed to quickly alert warfighters to the presence of chemical warfare agents – on 50% of all active guided missile destroyers and cruisers, aircraft carriers, large and small deck amphibious ships, littoral combat ships and dry cargo/ammunition ships with plans to complete Fleet installations by the end of 2019.
