    DESCRIPTION

    The Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity Technical Report No. TR-2013032, June
    2013, determined that there was a need for multiple systems to achieve the required
    capabilities for the Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD). NGCD was separated
    into four distinct programs providing different capabilities of systems. The programs are:
    Aerosol Vapor Chemical Agent Detection (AVCAD), Aerosol and Vapor Detector Alarm;
    Proximity Chemical Agent Detection (PCAD), Survey Detector; Multi Phase Chemical
    Agent Detection (MPCAD), Sample Collection and Analysis; and Compact Vapor Chemical
    Agent Detection (CVCAD), Man-Worn and Unmanned Detector.

    NGCD programs collectively will detect and identify nontraditional agents (NTA), chemical
    warfare agents (CWA), toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) and other hazards in the air and on
    surfaces. These programs will improve CWA/TIC selectivity and sensitivity in multiple
    environments. The NGCD programs will sample, detect, identify and quantify traditional
    and nontraditional chemical and TIC vapor, liquid, solid and aerosol hazards. The
    warfighter will be able to characterize Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear
    (CBRN) environment in air and water as well as on land, personnel, equipment and
    facilities.

    NGCD programs will support manned and unmanned platform integration and the
    following combat weapons of mass destruction (WMD) military mission areas: CBRN
    passive defense; WMD interdiction; WMD elimination and WMD consequence
    management.

    BENEFIT TO THE SOLDIER
    The four separate NGCD programs will provide capabilities and sensors to the warfighter
    with improved detection, consequence management and reconnaissance, and WMD
    interdiction.
