CBRNet®

What is CBRNet®?

CBRNet® is a networked system in which sensor instruments are digitally linked to your key decision makers and to professional CBRNe advisers. Decision makers will have access to a real time Recognised CBRNe Picture of your operation, showing the location of your sensors, the data they are collecting and the way they are performing, all supporting the ability to make quick, accurate decisions.

The data from CBRNe sensors is brought into SafeZone via the Internet, thus allowing you to access it wherever you need. At all stages it is fully protected so that it guarantees high confidence levels in measures of availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non- repudiation.

CBRNet® enables the exchange of data between your operations rooms and deployed CBRNe sensors, using the dedicated information system, SafeZone. At the front-end, data collected by your instrument detectors passes over whatever tactical communications system you choose. The networking technology allows for the use of mobile telephony, terrestrial and satellite radios and can harness the power of Bluetooth and WiFi connections. These advanced communication technologies are provided by Cubic Mission Solutions, world leaders in the industry and widely used by Global Special Operations Forces and government agencies.

CBRNe expert support is provided by CBRNet® staff from our Headquarters in Leipzig, Germany, and Billerica, USA, world centres of scientific excellence. The CMAGIC® operational facilities (OF) provide constant cover with access to scientific and technical advice, as well as training and fleet management expertise.

CBRNet® utilises an open, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in order to ensure that you can, if you wish, easily interface its output to your existing command systems.

•  A "Recognised CBRNE Picture"
  
  The ability to see with confidence where your CBRNe instruments are, what detections they are making and how they are performing. The ability to interrogate your instruments from your operations centre and to communicate with your operators.

• New Generation CBRNE Instruments
  
  A new generation of CBRNe detection instruments developed by Bruker specifically to operate within CBRNet®. New equipment is designed to improve detection, to be more robust and reliable and to network as a part of the CBRNet® system.

• Live Operational Advice
  
  The ability to request urgent support and advice from Bruker CBRNe experts. As a CBRNe incident unfolds, world renowned experts will be available online to advise you on the technical implications of a detection, the implications of a threat and the ways in which you may choose to counteract it.

• Fleet Management
  
  CBRNet® is designed to aid your Fleet Management. Software updates will keep your firmware and critical threat libraries constantly up to date. Logistic supply and maintenance processes will be over-seen from the centre, warning you when equipment needs servicing and predicting failures so that they may be pre-empted. On-line support will aid repair work, reducing the need for return to base. Asset tracking technology will support your fleet management activity.

• Training
  
  CBRNet® will support the training of your instrument operators and your operations room staff, both as individuals and in exercises that will develop and test your collective capacity working as teams of operators and commanders.

• CBRNE Operational Planning
  
  CBRNet® staff can deploy to support you as you plan for major CBRNe projects and operations. Our world class staff will aide your understanding of the threat and in developing your ability to protect, respond and recover from a CBRNe attack. Not only can we help develop your plan, but we will
  also deploy to your locations and assist as you execute it.

• CBRNET® Deploy – A Deployable CBRNE Protection Component
  
  CBRNet® staff can provide a full service in which we deploy people, instruments and command and control assets in support of a specific short term CBRNe operation. Examples include a full solution for events such as sports competitions, major international conferences and national celebrations.
