The Indian Army has signed a contract for procurement of 223 Automatic Chemical Agent Detection and Alarm (ACADA) systems at a cost of over 80 crore rupees. The ACADA system is used to detect chemical warfare agents and program toxic industrial chemicals by sampling the air from the environment. The Defence Ministry said the contract was signed with L&T Limited yesterday under the Buy Indian category. The Ministry said this will give a significant boost to the government’s Atamnirbharta drive since more than 80 per cent of the components and sub-systems of the equipment will be sourced locally. The induction of ACADA in the field units will substantially enhance the Indian Army’s defensive CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) capability for operations, especially for responding to disaster relief situations related to industrial accidents.
