The use of non-invasive techniques such as X-ray or PINS is well known in theCBEOD environment. Whilst these are effective but are not always the bestoption.

The Monica Remote Case Entry systemis the only equipment in the world whichallows EOD teams to dispose of chemicaland biological munitions and IEDs insitu.

The unique, field proven technology canaccess the contents of any munition forsampling, draining, decontamination orinvestigation without releasing thecontents.

Invasive technology, which safely penetrates the device, offers many advantagesand should be standard equipment within any CBRN/EOD team.



MONICA: Remote case entry system for CBW sampling and

disposal

For C, B or R IEDs and C or B Munitions

MIDAS: Manual sampling system

This specialised equipment is used by many of the world’s leading CBRN/EOD/IED units and organisations



✓ Remotely insert a self-sealing probe into a range of targets

✓ Allow sampling, detection and/or emptying

✓ Allow other procedures [endoscopy, RSP’s, venting, scrape samples]

What is Monica for?

✓ Case diameter 130 mm to flat 75mm with adaptor

✓Wall thickness 2 – 20 mm

✓ Internal pressure < 6 Bar

✓ 18mm OD cut, allowing dipleg diameter 10 mm



✓ No access to a diameter

✓ Minimum surface preparation

✓ No input of target diameter

✓ No input of target thickness

✓ Simple interface

✓ Man-portable

✓ Minimal EM signature

User Friendly


✓ Most CBW threats will be deployed or stored in a sealed container but standard chemical agent monitors depend on an agent release into the environment for them to function.

✓ Monica offers a field proven capability to sample and dispose of any chemical or biological threats, regardless of vessel without contaminating the environment.

✓ The equipment is designed to insert a gas-tight self-sealing probe through the target casing.

✓ It can deal with a wide range of materials including metals and plastics over a considerable range of wall thickness.

✓ Once installed the probe gives fully sealed access for sampling, extraction and in-situ neutralisation of the contents.

✓ Power is supplied by compressed air from standard SCBA cylinders making the system man-portable.

✓ It can be deployed by a 2 man team in under 5 minutes.

Sampling and Analysis: 100% Certainty

Fast Disposal under 20 minutes from arrival.Simple Designed to be used intuitively in full NBC protective clothing.Portable Can be easily carried by 2 man team.Safe System ensures no agent release in the event of a power failure.




Monica In Operation

Simple 4 Step Process



Sealing Technology

The Technical Challenges

• Wall thickness is not known

• When case is corroded, wet or damaged

• Seal automatically without operator intervention.• Fail safe if case too thick or pressure too high

The Advantages

• Simple to Use. Intuitive. Training is straightforward

• Flexible. Can be used for many operations in many scenarios.

• Fast. To set up and operate.

• Safe. Tested & proven across the world.


Installed Probe

✓ Provides access to contents for:– Sampling of gasses,

liquids and powders

– Emptying or in-situ neutralisation

– Sealed endoscopy

– Other techniques



Sampling

• Self sealing zero drip sampling of

liquids and gasses

• Repeat samples can be taken

• Sample volume 9ml, syringe fits

IATA approved toxic transport

container




Empty/Neutralise Using MATS

✓ Side port for emptying by blanket pressure or fluidising weaponised powder

✓ MMIC MATS system provides a fully compatible highly portable system for transferring or neutralising agent

✓ Can follow sampling operations

✓ Fully sealed 10 mm PTFE or stainless steel dipleg



MATS Schematic


Monica Agent Transfer System (MATS)


✓ Drain & decontamination system for CB weapons

✓ Liquids, gases or powders, including healed mustard

✓ Highly portable

The MATS (Monica Agent Transfer System) isdesigned to be used in conjunction with Monicaonce a munition or IED has been drilled. Theequipment offer the operator 2 options;

✓ To either decant the agent from the target for disposal, or

✓ Decontaminant can be pumped into the target for in-situ neutralisation.
