Chemring is a global group that specialises in the manufacture of energetic material products, countermeasures and electronics, including sensor technologies. The company provides a range of high technology products for specific customer requirements in aerospace, defence, and security markets in more than 60 countries. Chemring companies are involved in major defence development programmes around the world.
The demands placed on communications surveillance and attack systems have never been so complex. Electronic Warfare (EW) operations in today’s battlespace require intuitive, lightweight and rapidly deployable systems to monitor the constantly changing communications environment. In today’s contemporary operating environment there is a need to understand a potential threat and get inside the adversary’s Observe, Orientate, Decide, Action (OODA) loop.
Chemring Sensors and Electronic Systems (CSES) is a world leader in the design, development and production of Counter-IED Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems. CSES combat ready GPR systems are the leading edge of mine detection technology and are successfully being used by US and Coalition forces in Afghanistan. A US leader in chemical and biological threat detection and has an advanced capability in stand-off detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). It is the incumbent supplier for two major US military vehicle-mounted detection programmes: The Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS) and the Joint Service Lightweight Stand-off Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD). In addition, its products include a stand-off IED and explosives detector and the Juno hand-held chemical detector.
At AUSA 2014, CSES exhibits the following:
Chemring Countermeasures is a world leader in comprehensive threat weapon systems and missile countermeasure solutions. Chemring specialise in the design, manufacture and world wide distribution of a comprehensive range of RF (Radio Frequency) and IR (Infra Red) decoy cartridges for airborne, naval and land applications across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Chemring Countermeasures exhibits 15 – 25 flares at AUSA.
Chemring Ordnance is a centre of excellence for the design, development and production of ordnance, pyrotechnic products, and other munition components for military, homeland security, and first responders. The company manufactures all types of 40mm low and high velocity ammunition; pyrotechnic marking, signalling, and tactical illumination devices; battlefield effects simulators; hand grenade fuzes and other ammunition components such as large calibre electronic primers. At AUSA the following 40mm will be exhibited:
