The Smart Defense company took part in the XIV International Specialized Exhibition “Arms and Security 2017” in Kyiv, Ukraine. During the exhibition was released the Fido X3 lightweight explosives trace detector developed by FLIR Systems, Inc.

The FLIR Fido X3 is the lightest and most sensitive handheld explosives trace detector in its class. It features FLIR TrueTrace® detection technology to identify military, commercial, homemade, and liquid explosive threats by class collected from surfaces (particulate) and from in bottles (vapor).

With a magnesium case and splash-proof seal, its rugged design meets rigorous MIL-STD-810G and IP54 specifications. It starts from cold in five minutes and has a battery that lasts up to eight hours. With clear-down measured in seconds, operators spend more time sampling and less time waiting.
