The Mobile Complex of Chemical Control as the Basis of Technical Equipment of the Mobile Diagnostic Group of the 33 Central Scientific Research Test Institute of the Ministry of Defenсe of the Russian Federation
Abstract
The special mobile diagnostic group (MDG) is formed in the Federal State Budgetary Establishment «33 Central Scientific Research Test Institute» of the Ministry of Defenсe of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the institute) to perform tasks related to the radiation and chemical (RCh) control of different objects, to ensure RCh safety and security of mass events, as well as to perform special tasks of RCh examination of samples of all kinds. The purpose of the work is to consider the design, capabilities and organization of the mobile complex of chemical control (MCCC), which is the basis of the technical equipment of the MDG. The complex is created on the basis of Ford-Transit off-road vehicle with the equipment for the MDG and a container installed on a two-axle platform, where the equipment for the MDG is located. The complex is equipped with modern analytical equipment, means of communications, navigation, information processing and automatic meteorological observation, with the life support kit, autonomous power and water supply systems, exhaust ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems. The technical characteristics of the MCCC are as follows: crew – 8 people; preparation time – no more than 60 minutes; time for the preliminary identification of substances detected by the mobile group (from the moment of arrival) – no more than 60 minutes; the lower limit of detection of toxic chemicals in environmental objects – at the maximum concentration limit; time of confirming identification of detected toxic chemicals (from the moment of delivery of samples) – no more than 180 minutes; cruising range – up to 700 km. The methodological apparatus is also developed, that ensures the functioning of the MCCC crew during the performance of wide range of tasks of the MDG. Subsequently, this methodological apparatus has been repeatedly expanded and refined based on the results of the complex's participation in ensuring the RCh security of various mass events. The algorithm of carrying out special chemical control by technical means of the MCCC complex is presented in the article. The complex is capable of detecting both low-hazard and emergency concentrations of practically all known toxic chemicals in various samples, and identifying these substances in environmental objects.
