As part of an evolution of operational requirements, the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) sought Industry proposals for an update to its Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear (CBRN) decontamination capabilities for both personnel and military equipment.

The vehicle decontamination line includes three stations: wash, decontamination and rinse. The wash and rinse stations feature high pressure heated water and features both a ground

based decontamination lance and a lance mounted in a crane based work platform that can handle a wide-range of vehicles including trucks, light armored vehicles (LAVs), tanks and other larger vehicles.

The resulting system decontaminates both personnel and their equipment, including personal weapons in a temperature controlled rinse, decontaminate and dressing area.
