NBC / CBRN Protection

Typically Kinetics' NBCS makes part of the Life Support System (LSS), but it can also be provided as a stand alone system.

A typical NBCS, with NATO AEP-54 Compliance, includes one common

NBC / CBRN Filter

for the platform, and it offers 3 Protection Modes:

• Overpressure Protection: crew cabin is over pressurized by filtered air and there is no need to use individual protection
• Collective Facemasks Protection: when crew cabin can't be over pressurized, filtered and conditioned (also cooled / heated if part of a LSS) air is delivered to each individual NBC Facemask.
• Hybrid Protection: simultaneous Overpressure & Collective Facemask Protection is used mainly in preparation for hatch or ramp opening in a contaminated area.

Kinetics' NBCS offer the latest NBC /

CBRN protection

technologies and special features, assuring safe operation for extended periods of time and reduced Life Cycle Costs. These include:

• NATO AEP-54 Compliance offers maximum safety including against Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC)
• Advanced Particles / Dust Separation technology reduces the NBC / CBRN Filter (HEPA stage) dust clogging
• Relative Humidity Reduction (RHR) System reduces the NBC / CBRN Filter (chemical stage) clogging by air humidity
• NBC Filter Bypass Valve allows safe and easy engagement / disengagement of the NBC / CBRN Filter - increases Filter life
• Exchangeable Pre-Filter - a concentric low cost filter (additional to the HEPA & chemical stages) saves NBC / CBRN Filter replacements and minimize the life cycle costs and logistics
• Dynamic Overpressure & Air-Quality Control System minimizes the ambient airflow through the NBC / CBRN Filter and increases its life, while keeping safe overpressure and adequate air-quality in the crew cabin
• NBC / CBRN Filter Indicator provides reliable indication for NBC / CBRN Filter replacement
• Computerized control that allows flexibility in changing operational features by software upgrade
• Networking with main vehicle computer
• Diagnostics
• Integrated Chemical / Radiation Detection Systems (CDS / RDS) offer safe detection and automatic operation of the NBCS
