Today’s warfighter operates in a chemical threat environment that is increasingly complex, unpredictable, and difficult to characterize. Traditional chemical warfare agents remain a concern, while emerging threats such as pharmaceutical-based agents, toxic industrial chemicals, explosives, and novel compounds continue to challenge conventional detection capabilities.
908 Devices delivers field-deployable chemical detection and identification technology that gives military operators actionable intelligence at the point of need. Across CBRN, EOD, force protection, reconnaissance, site exploitation, and consequence management missions, our technologies help teams rapidly understand the chemical environment and make informed decisions without waiting for reach-back laboratory analysis.
MX908 brings high-pressure mass spectrometry into a rugged handheld platform for trace-level detection and identification. It provides operators with critical information on chemical warfare agents, pharmaceutical-based agents, explosives, narcotics, and other priority threats across multiple phases of matter. MX908 can also support remote and unmanned operations, helping teams extend chemical identification capabilities into potentially contaminated environments while reducing unnecessary personnel exposure.
XplorIR provides continuous gas and vapor identification, helping teams characterize airborne hazards, including chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals. By identifying what is in the atmosphere and providing quantification capabilities when enabled, XplorIR delivers information that can support protective posture, hazard-zone management, decontamination, and mission-continuation decisions.
VipIR combines Raman and FTIR spectroscopy with Smart Spectral Processing to rapidly identify unknown bulk solids and liquids. Two complementary analytical technologies provide broader chemical coverage while simplifying the identification workflow for operators in the field.
Together, MX908, XplorIR, and VipIR provide layered chemical intelligence across trace materials, bulk solids and liquids, gases, vapors, and aerosols. This complementary approach gives military teams greater flexibility to detect, identify, and characterize threats across dynamic operational environments.
From forward-deployed operations to installation protection, 908 Devices puts advanced chemical analysis closer to the threat and into the hands of the operator.
Detect the threat. Identify the hazard. Inform the decision. Protect the force.
