Handheld High-Pressure Mass Spectrometer Upgrade

The United States Marine Corps has a requirement for a proprietary hardware, firmware, and connectivity upgrade package for twelve (12) existing, unit-owned MX908 Handheld High-Pressure Mass Spectrometer devices. In strict compliance with Marine Corps chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) defense

requirements, these ruggedized tactical devices are utilized to rapidly detect, identify, and monitor trace-level gaseous, liquid, and solid threats in the field. To maintain operational readiness and meet evolving security standards, these devices must undergo a factory-level upgrade to integrate secure wireless capability and enhanced structural durability. The upgrade package includes the installation of new machined housings, Bluetooth capability for remote data transfer, proprietary software/firmware optimization, OEM certified calibration and testing, and secure round-trip shipping.
