AP4B
The AP4B is a unique, fully automated real-time bio-alert system designed to provide early warning of potential biological threats. Its compact and rugged design enables continuous monitoring of airborne agents in the environment, allowing for the detection of suspicious biological materials.
Thanks to its advanced core detection technology, the AP4B is ideal for use either as an independent detector for infrastructure protection or as an integrated solution within vehicles and combat systems. Its machine learning based alarm algorithm enables continuous adaptation to complex variations in both outdoor and indoor environments, ensuring a low-regret response by minimizing false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to real threats. The system features an open communication protocol, allowing seamless integration into any CBRN defense architecture.
