Description
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC.PCD) requests information on existing items such as handheld gas analysis (gas analyzers) to support confined space entry and post-fire atmospheric recovery aboard shipboard fire. To meet immediate damage control needs, the command requires highly portable, self-contained units weighing under 5 lbs that can be deployed in under 3 minutes and simultaneously detects/monitor O2, LEL, CO, H2S, VOC. Furthermore, to minimize shipboard maintenance footprints, the ideal solution must support an extended calibration-free interval of at least 12 months and feature a simplified, rapid field-sensor replacement process.
