UK Defence Ministry Accepts Opsens' Radsens System Radio and Radar Hazards Application

Opsens Inc. announced the acceptance of RadSens' as a measurement equipment for undertaking RadHaz trials on equipment employing electro-explosive devices (EED) by the Defence Ordnance Safety Group (DOSG), an organization of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence.

The assessment was undertaken by Europe's leading independent supplier of electronic subsystems for complex weapons and Battlefield Target Identification systems, and sponsored by DOSG.

The assessment report indicates that the RadSens signal conditioner and the OTG-R fiber optic temperature sensor exhibit very good power and energy sensitivities. This positions them as an excellent option for Radio and Radar Radiation Hazards (RADHAZ) applications, Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) applications, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) assessment applications.

"RadSens acceptance for the RADHAZ United Kingdom market is strategic and key to gain Europe Military, Avionic and Automobile markets." said Yves Plamondon, Vice President Sales and Marketing for the military market at Opsens.
