THE BV, STILL PROVIDING HOTWATER TO THETROOPS AND NOWCOOLS AS WELL
The BV (boiler vessel) is well known throughoutthe British Forces as it has been proving troopsin vehicles, of all shapes and sizes, withcontinuous hot water for brewing up or cookingrash packs. It has been called the moralebooster, amongst other things, and its ruggeddesign has meant that it has beenaccompanying troops in theatres across the
world for many decades in the Challenger,Foxhound, Scorpion, and the Jackal, to namebut a few.
It draws its power from the vehicle whichmeans there is no need to stop to take a muchneeded rehydration break, which could make
vehicles and troops vulnerable to attack andslow the mission. Excellent insulation meansthat it keeps water hot for hours, the outside iscool to touch and it has a very low thermalimage.
The company, Electrothermal, that firstdesigned the BV, in conjunction with the MOD

New Argon WhitePaper Shows Way ToBetter CBRN Training Argon, the global leader in CBRN and Hazmat
training systems, has released another free whitepaper, this time offering tips for emergencyservices and first responders on how to provide
the best possible CBRN response training. Thepaper will prove to be a valuable tool for anyorganisation wishing to maximise the realism oftraining without posing a danger to personnel.
How To EnhanceCBRN Training
The new Argon paper highlights best practice inCBRN training by looking at some of the highlychallenging simulation exercises that haverecently taken place in the UK using state-of-the-art simulation equipment. In these exercises,instructors can safely simulate the release ofchemical and radiological hazards, whiletrainees carry out their roles equipped withsimulators in place of the real detectors. Thedetector simulators respond to electronicsimulation sources that represent chemicalvapours, toxic industrial substances or falsepositives, enabling trainers to run realisticexercises without risk of harm or damage topersonnel, their equipment, or the environment.Exercises discussed in the white paper includea simulated terrorist attack during a halfmarathon charity event in support of militarycharities in which realism was introduced atevery opportunity to ensure that every traineereacted as if it was a real life emergency. Thepaper also offers five key tips that organisationsshould follow to get the best out of any trainingexercise.

Production of MilitaryRations Biofuel SparksInterest The production of an all-weather solidflammable biofuel for military rations cookers,which can double as a waterless hand sanitiserhas been launched by the UK military company,BCB International Ltd.
‘FireDragon’ All-weatherSolid Flammable Biofuel for
Military Ration Cookers
Many NATO forces currently issue hexaminefuel to their troops for cooking in the field andare looking to move to a replacement fuel dueto the dangers that hexamine presents to thehealth of soldiers. Hexamine is a potentiallydangerous and outdated substance; burning itgives off cyanide. Headquartered in Cardiff, BCBInternational Ltd, believe that their alcohol-based alternative fuel, ‘FireDragon’, will provepopular with soldiers on patrol who need to
heat up their rations quickly without producingand inhaling toxic fumes.
Announcing the start of production, BCB’sManaging Director, Andrew Howell said: “Overthe last five years, we have been developing agreen and clean solid biofuel made fromethanol called ‘FireDragon’. I am happy toannounce that after extensive research and pre-production trials, the eagerly awaited fuel isnow in production.
“The launch of the fuel is good news for ourtroops. It will enable soldiers to cook theirmeals and make their brews with a safer andcleaner fuel than traditional military rations fuelblocks like hexamine. Our fuel is non-toxic, non-drip and made from 100% natural ingredients,including ethanol sourced from UK grown grainstocks. The FireDragon fuel can be packed withrations and doubles as a waterless hand sanitiser
which will help Militaries reduce their logisticsand medical costs.”
Mr. Howell went on to explain how the fuel ismore than a match for similar alternative fuels:“One tablet of FireDragon fuel (27 grams) canboil 500 ml of water in 5-6 minutes; that’s atleast two minutes faster than competitors’products. It can even be ignited whilst wet,something unique to FireDragon.
“Wherever they operate, whether in driving rain,the freezing arctic or searing heat, the fuel willenable soldiers to heat their rations right wherethey need them.”

To help engineers meet increasingly strictaerospace environmental noise regulations,Brüel & Kjær created a lightweight, robustPortable Impedance Meter System - Type 9737.
Robust PortableImpedance
Meter System -Type 9737
Regulations put pressure on aerospaceengineers to improve liner attenuation - and thisdrives the need for improved acousticimpedances in jet aircraft acoustic liners.Acoustic Liners are vital to ensure aircraft arequiet and must satisfy many other requirementstoo, such as withstanding extreme weather andfitting restricted spaces.
Fully bonded panels within aircraft must beassessed for their true, effective acousticbehaviour in their final condition. Brüel & Kjær’sImpedance Meter System provides aerospaceengineers with a user-friendly system, suitablefor carrying out research and production qualitycontrol impedance measurements, up to 150 dBSPL on engine nacelle liners.
The system allows key acoustic parameters,such as impedance spectra vs. OASPL and
acoustic resistance versus acoustic velocity, tobe extracted in-situ. An automated pass/failroutine allows non-acoustic specialists toquickly carry out production quality controlmeasurements.
The system is based on the two-microphone,transfer function test method, which meansmeasurements take only a fraction of the time
required by traditional, standing-wave ratiosystems.
The Portable Impedance Meter system lendsitself well to the measurement of acousticproperties of aircraft interiors and trim materials.More information about Impedance MeterSystem - Type 9737 is available on Brüel & Kjær’swebsite: www.bksv.com

Pico1024E GenII gives military equipmentextra performance to detect threats, whilemaintaining all-important low-level powerconsumption standards
ULIS MegapixelPico1024E GenII
ULIS, a leading manufacturer of thermalimage sensors for commercial and militaryapplications, today announces theavailability of Pico1024E GenII, a high-precision energy-efficient megapixelthermal image sensor. Pico1024E GenII is anext-generation device in the ULIS PICO Eproduct family for military applications. Itbrings important new advantages tomilitary equipment needing extendedinfrared detection range, fast targetdetection and tracking, while keepingpower consumption low.
ULIS’ PICO E products are alreadydeployed in European and North Americanairborne local situation awareness and landvehicle driver vision enhancementapplications. In recent events, PICO Eproducts have also been selected for twoEuropean anti-surface missile programs.
These developments lead ULIS to havehigh expectations that Pico1024E GenII, byoffering extra performance in wide field ofview and faster target detection, will gain
entry into other military applications.
“ULIS’ megapixel Pico1024E GenII meetsthe challenges in thermal image sensors formilitary applications that need to offernew capabilities and perform at very highstandards, while operating with minimumenergy,” said Jean-Francois Delepau,managing director of ULIS. “Pico1024EGenII has already stimulated interest fromdefense equipment customers. Itsperformance pushes the standards inimage crispness, frame rate frequency andlow power consumption to the highestlevels. We expect Pico1024E GenII to openup new possibilities in the futuredevelopment of thermal imaging systems.”Pico1024E GenII, a 1024 x 768 17-micronpixel pitch thermal image sensor, hassucceeded in maintaining powerconsumption at the lowest levels(200mW), while offering new performanceattributes in higher thermal sensitivity andfaster frame rate frequency. Theseenhancements have increased Pico1024EGenII’s overall attractiveness to a widerrange of military applications demanding alarger panoramic field of view or extendeddetection range (3km - 5km).
Helicopter pilots and drivers of landvehicles can benefit from the real timethermal imaging capabilities that Pico1024EGenII enhances for night vision or for localsituation awareness in all-weatherconditions as well as smoke. Pico1024EGen II can also provide airborne or ground-
based troops with extra capabilityenhancements in operations, such as ‘manin the loop’ for anti-surface missiles.
Major upgrades to Pico1024E GenII consistof higher thermal sensitivity of lower than50mK, offering 15 per cent additionalthermal sensitivity over the previousgeneration.
Thermal sensitivity is a key parameter forindicating the image accuracy and visibledetails provided over a measurabledistance, in this case up to 5km to detecta tank.
Other upgrades include a frame ratefrequency of more than 100Hz for fasttarget tracking. This is close to double theframe rate frequency for this category ofmegapixel thermal image sensor.Significant progress has been made onlowering the power consumption of ULIS’devices, down to 200mW, whereascompeting products require two to threetimes more electrical power.

ANV S2 Radiation Monitoring System Tracked and wheeled vehicles
Nuclear Control Systems
The ANV S2 radiation monitoring system
has been developed by Ultra Electronics to
provide a robust and affordable solution
for vehicle borne applications. The system
continuously monitors the radiological
environment both within the vehicle and
external to the platform.
The design has been proven in a
comprehensive range of environmental
and other tests against UK MOD Defence
Standards. The Type Testing programme
included the demanding mechanical
specifications for shock and vibration for
systems on tracked and wheeled military
vehicles.
The system’s modules are designed to
perform continuously with minimum
maintenance and have excellent reliability.
The detectors are suitable for external
mounting on amphibious vehicles.
The ANV S2 system can incorporate up
to three wide range detectors capable
of measuring from natural background
levels to full threat levels which may
be experienced post nuclear weapon
detonation.
A single detector can be sited internally
to monitor the exposure of the crew
whilst two external detectors will give
a directional capability which can be
exploited to locate the source of a
radiological threat.
The ANV S2 fighting vehicle system has
a rapid response to changes of radiation
dose rate. This enhanced response is
required to detect radioactive point
sources whilst the vehicle is on patrol,
conducting surveys or actively deployed.
